Recall that parallel lins have ;

Since given which is form�=>� slope
It will be also slope of the line parallel to given line
Let use this line
Here is the graph of both lines showing they are parallel:

Start with the given system of equations:

In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.

So let's solve for y on the first equation

Start with the given equation

Subtract from both sides

Rearrange the equation

Divide both sides by

Break up the fraction

Reduce

Now lets graph (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)

Graph of

So let's solve for y on the second equation

Start with the given equation

Subtract from both sides

Rearrange the equation

Divide both sides by

Break up the fraction

Reduce

Now lets add the graph of to our first plot to get:

Graph of (red) and (green)

From the graph, we can see that the two lines are parallel and will never intersect. So there are no solutions and the system is inconsistent.

when lines are perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals, so

Let use this line:
