Question
Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x axis extending from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1 and the y axis extending from negative 5 to 15 in increments of 1. A solid line and a dotted line with arrows at both ends intersect each other. The equation of the solid line is y equals one half x plus 6. The equation of the dotted line is y equals 2 x plus 3. The lines intersect at left parenthesis 2 comma 7 right parenthesis which is not plotted as a point.

Estimate the solution to the system of these linear equations based on the graph.

Question
Solve the system of equations.
6x−3y=−6
9x−3y=−18 (1 point)
(
,
)

This system of equations is inconsistent because the two equations represent parallel lines with the same slope but different y-intercepts. As a result, they will never intersect and have no solution.

Solve the system of equations.

6x−3y=−6
9x−3y=−18

To solve this system of equations, notice that the two equations have the same y-coefficient (-3y). This implies that the lines are parallel, which means they will never intersect and there is no solution to this system of equations.
