If the graphs of the two equations in asystem are parallel lines, what can you say about the solution(s) of the system?
Answer to Problem 2E
There will be no solution in a system of parallel lines.
Explanation of Solution
We know that solution of a system of equation is the point, where the graphs of both equations intersect.
We also know that slopes of parallel lines are same, so parallel lines never intersect. Therefore, there will be no solution for a system of equations with parallel lines.
