does it stay the same or not?

Actually, a system is inconsistent if you can derive two (or more) statements within the system which are contradictory. Otherwise it is consistent.

For example, Eucliadean geometry requires that given a line and a point not on that line, you can have one and only one line through the point which is parallel to the original line.

However, you can have a consistent system of geometry if you assume that there is no such parallel line. This is known as the projective plane.

You can assume that there will be an infinite number of parallel lines through a point not on the line. And again you can have a consistent system.

Consistency or inconsistency has nothing whatsoever to do with time.

In solving a system of two linear equations or two functions by graphing what is meant by if the system is consistent or inconsistent?

A system of linear equations is consistent if there is only one solution for the system. Thus, if you see that the drawn lines intersect, you can say that the system is consistent, and the point of intersection is the only solution for the system. A system of linear equations is inconsistent if it does not have any solution. Thus, if you see that the drawn lines are parallel, you can say that the system is inconsistent, and there is not any solution for the system.


Is the system of equations is consistent consistent and coincident or inconsistent?

A system of equations is considered consistent if it has at least one solution, and it is coincident if all solutions are the same line (infinitely many solutions). If the system has no solutions, it is inconsistent. To determine the nature of a specific system, you need to analyze its equations; for example, if two equations represent the same line, it is consistent and coincident, while parallel lines indicate inconsistency.

How many solutions does an inconsistent system of equations have?

If a system is inconsistent it cannot have any solutions.A system of equations is considered inconsistent when the lines are parallel which means they never intersect so there are no solutions.A system is considered consistent when they intersect at one point and have one solution (Also known as an independent system of equations).Dependent Systems are when the lines coincide (the same equation) so they have an infinite number of solutions.
