.
Notice that the left sides of these equation are identical.


So, their right sides are equal:


-8/3x + 4 = -8/3x - 1.


Cancel the common term -8/3x in both sides.  You will get


4 = -1.


It NEVER can be true.


Hence, the original system HAS NO SOLUTIONS.

Slopes are identical, but b, or y-intercepts are DIFFERENT, so the lines are parallel, so: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C2%2C+NO%2C+SOLUTIONS%29%29
