Given, Equations,

\\2x - 2y - 2 =0, \qquad\\ 4x - 4y -5 = 0

Comparing these equations with  a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0\:and\:a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0, we get 

\\\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2},\\\:\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}\:and\\\:\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-2}{-5}=\frac{2}{5}

As we can see 

\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq\frac{c_1}{c_2}

It means the given equations have no solution and thus pair of linear equations is inconsistent.
