Question 1055786: Find the solution to the following system of linear equations. y = −9x + 20
y = −9x +16
Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = -9x + 20
y = -9x + 16
------
Since both = y:
-9x + 20 = -9x + 16
Add 9x
20 = 16
------
--> inconsistent, no solution.
---
If you graph them, you get parallel lines.
No intersection, no solution.
