Enter the number that corresponds to the correct option:
1 - consistent system of equations
2 - dependent system of equations
3 - inconsistent system of equations
4 - independent system of equations

Answer 1

If the lines in a system of linear equations are parallel, the system is called an **inconsistent system of equations**. Therefore, the correct option is:

3 - inconsistent system of equations
