Question 1005380: Without graphing, answer the questions for the following linear system.
3x+2y=7
18x+12y=3
a) Is the system inconsistent, or are the equations dependent, or neither?
b) is the graph a pair of intersecting lines, a pair of parallel lines, or one line?
c) Does the system have one solution, no solution, or an infinite number of solutions?

The slopes of both equations are equal, and the slope is -3%2F2, and these two lines will never meet, so they are parallel, so no solutions - no intersection.
