If a system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, what is it called? Choose the best answer:

-inconsistent and dependent system of equations
-consistent system of equations
-dependent system of equations
-consistent and dependent system of equations

1 answer

The best answer is: consistent and dependent system of equations.

A system with an infinite number of solutions is both consistent (meaning it has at least one solution) and dependent (meaning the equations are related and essentially describe the same line or plane).
