Question 333561: The system {-8x+10=20} {y=4/5x+2} consists of what?
a. One solution, since the lines intersect
b. No solution, because the lines are parallel
c. Infinite solutions, because the lines are the same
d. No solution, because the lines are in different planes

The system {-8x+10y=20} {y=4/5x+2} consists of what?
---
Check the slopes:
1st Equation: slope = 8/10 = 4/5
2nd Equation: slope = 4/5
-------
Ans: slopes are the same so lines are parallel so no solution
