Consider the system: y = 3x + 5 y = ax + b what values for a and b make the system inconsistent? what values for a and b make the system consistent and dependent? explain

An exponent value in a would make the system inconsistent because it will either gain or lose height over time.

Any real number without an exponent value will make the system consitent.

Any infintite/repeating number will make the system both consistent and inconsistent. it is consisent because it will stay at a constant rate but also inconsistent because it is repeating and will never end.
