To determine whether a system of linear equations lacks a solution, we can convert it into reduced row echelon form. If the bottom-right value is 1, then the system lacks solutions.
Why is this true? It just seems like a random indicator to me.

There seems to be something wrong here. The matrix
( 1 0 1 0 1 1 )
is in reduced row-echelon form, the bottom-right entry is 1, and the system represented by the matrix does not lack solutions. What do you really mean?
