Given that (3, 2, –6) and (–2, 5, 1) are solutions of two equations in a system of three linear equations, which of the following is true about the system?

a. the system can only be consistent and independent.
b. the system can be either inconsistent and independent or consistent and dependent.
c. the system can be either inconsistent and dependent or consistent and independent.
d. the system can only be inconsistent and dependent.

  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The system can be any of ...

"Inconsistent" means there is no solution. "Dependent" means there are infinite solutions. It is not possible to be "inconsistent and dependent." (This leaves out choices b, c, and d.

Below, we show that "consistent and independent" is not the only possibility, leaving out choice a.

___

Consistent and independent

The one solution to this set of equations is (x, y, z) = (1, 8, -8).

__

Inconsistent

There is no solution to this set of equations.

__

Dependent

There are an infinite number of solutions to these equations

it's c on edge

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
