SOLUTION: For what value of r the equtions, x-ry=r and x-(r-2)y=2 do not have any solution.

Question 759534: For what value of r the equtions, x-ry=r and
x-(r-2)y=2 do not have any solution.

Could the two equations be arranged so that a value for r makes them equivalent equations?

{1} x-ry=r
{2} x-(r-2)y=2
x-ry+2y=2

But no matter: you still want the system in some consistant form.
{1} x-ry=r
{2} x-(r-2)y=2
How could these two equations be identical?
You would need r-2=r and r=2. The one says, r=2 and the other says -2=0 which is nonsense.

Try putting both into slope-intercept form:
{1} ,
{2} , , ,
The slopes will need to be equal if you want NO solution.
Must have:
Meaning, you must have . This is impossible. At least, impossible if only two dimensions, which is an assumption here.
