Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions
Consistent Unique: a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2
Inconsistent Parallel: a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2
Coincident Infinite: a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
Condition for Consistency
Intersecting lines have a unique solution. Parallel lines have no solution. Coincident overlapping lines have infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-Step Mark Allocation
Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.
Common Calculation Traps
Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
