Given that the solution set to a system of three linear equations is a line, which of the following is true about the system?

A solution set that is a line contains infinitely many solutions, so the system is consistent. In three-variable space, a line has fewer independent constraints than a single unique point; at least one of the three equations must be redundant, making the system dependent. Therefore, the system can only be dependent and consistent.
