Expert Solution
Step 1

A system of linear equations is defined as one that contains two or more equation linear equations. Let us consider two equation is,

a1x+b1y=c1a2x+b2y=c2

A system of the equation has no solution  if a1a2=b1b2c1c2.

A system of the equation exactly one solution if a1a2b1b2.

A system of the equation infinitely solution if a1a2=b1b2=c1c2.
