Solution

Parallel

Inconsistent system: A system of linear equations is inconsistent if it has no solution. 

Graphical meaning: A solution corresponds to an intersection point. No solution means the two lines never intersect. 

Conclusion: Lines that lie in the same plane and never intersect are parallel lines.
