Which system of equations is inconsistent?

Option A is correct.

The system of equation is inconsistent is;

2x+8y=6

5x+20y=2

Explanation:

* A system of equations is called an inconsistent system, if there is no solution because the lines are parallel.

* If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent .

*A dependent system of equations is when the same line is written in two different forms so that there are infinite solutions.

(A)

2x+8y=6

5x+20y=2

This is inconsistent, because as shown below in the  graph of figure 1 that the lines do not intersect, so the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.

(B)

5x+4y=-14

3x+6y=6

this system of equation is Consistent because it has exactly one solution as shown below in the graph of Figure 2 and also it is independent.

(C)

x+2y=3

4x+6y=5

this system of equation is Consistent because it has exactly one solution as shown below in the graph of Figure 3.

(D)

3x-2y=2

6x-4y=4

this is a consistent system and has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent because  both equations represent the same line. as shown below in the graph of Figure-4.

Therefore, the only Option A system of equation is inconsistent.
