Classification of a linear system

We call the set of linear equations in variable x with m equations and n variables a linear system. When solving a linear system we can obtain the following solution conditions: a single solution, infinite solutions or no solution.
Possible and Determined System (SPD): when solved we will find a single solution, that is, only a single value for the unknowns. The following system is considered a possible and determined system, as the only existing solution for it is the ordered pair (4,1).

Possible and Indeterminate System (SPI): this type of system has infinite solutions, the values ​​of x and y take on countless values. Note the following system, x and y can take on more than one value, (0.4), (1.3), (2.2), (3.1) and so on.

Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)

Impossible System (SI): when solved, we will not find possible solutions for the unknowns, so this type of system is classified as impossible. The system to follow is impossible.
