Consider a system with 3 equations and 2 unknowns that has no solutions. List all possible arrangements of the 3 equations as lines on the x-y plane.
I know for a system to have no solution the determinant must be 0. But I do not understand what possible arrangements I can have.

Given that equations with two variables (let's assume $x,y \in \mathbb{R}$) are graphically lines on the plane $XY$ then the arrangements are the following:
