To determine which statements are true about the system of equations and their relationships, let's analyze the implications of the different scenarios described:

1. **The solution to the system is the point of intersection between lines.**
- This statement is generally true for any system of linear equations; the solution is where their graphs intersect.

2. **The solution to the system is the point of intersection between lines e and f.**
- If lines e and f are the lines represented by the equations in the system, then this statement is also true and essentially reiterates the first point.

3. **It is impossible for (something) to equal both (something) and (something) simultaneously; therefore, the system has no solution.**
- This statement is true if the lines are parallel because parallel lines never intersect, resulting in no solution.

4. **It is impossible for y to equal both (2/3)x + 1 and (-3/2)x + 4 simultaneously; therefore, the system has no solution.**
- Again, this is true if the two equations describe parallel lines.

5. **The system is inconsistent because the lines are perpendicular.**
- This statement is false. If the lines are perpendicular, they will intersect at one point, meaning the system has exactly one solution, so it is consistent.

6. **The system is consistent because the lines are parallel.**
- This statement is false; parallel lines do not intersect, indicating that the system has no solution.

7. **Since the lines are perpendicular, the system has a solution.**
- This statement is true; perpendicular lines intersect, meaning the system has one solution.

8. **The system is consistent because the lines are perpendicular.**
- This statement is true for the same reason as above; if the lines are perpendicular, the system is consistent due to having one solution.

### True Statements
Based on the analysis, the true statements are:

1. The solution to the system is the point of intersection between lines.
2. The solution to the system is the point of intersection between lines e and f.
3. Since the lines are perpendicular, the system has a solution.

If you need further analysis or clarification, please provide the specific equations of the lines for more accurate conclusions.
