\n" );
document.write( "show graphically that the system of linear equations 2x+4y=10 and 3x+6y=12 has no solution
\n" );
document.write( "Using the standard point-slope form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  
\n" );
document.write( "where m is the slope and b the y-intercept. 
\n" );
document.write( "solving for y so as to put into the slope-intercept form 
\n" );
document.write( "2x+4y=10   y = -(2/4)x + 10
\n" );
document.write( "3x+6y=12   y = -(3/6)x + 12
\n" );
document.write( "both lines have slope -(1/2)  
\n" );
document.write( "Showing these two lines are parallel and that there is no solution for this system
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
