Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze System A

The two lines in System A intersect at a single point (-2, 0).

Step 2: Analyze System B

Manipulating the second equation of System B, we have:

-x + 4y = 12

4y = x + 12

y = (1/4)x + 3

This is the same as the first equation, so the lines are coincident.

Step 3: Analyze System C

The two lines in System C are parallel, having the same slope (-1/2) but different intercepts.

Final Answer

System A: consistent independent, a unique solution (-2,0)

System B: consistent dependent, infinitely many solutions

System C: inconsistent, no solution
