D.) -3x+y=5
Thank you so much. i beleive the answer is C but i am not very sure. Found 2 solutions by funmath, stanbon:Answer by funmath(2933) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please answer this question for me.

If you have two lines with the same slope and different y-intercepts, they are parallel and will never intersect to give you a solution. The slope intercept form of a line is Where m=slope and b=y-intercept. Put the equations into slope intercept form, the one that has m=-3 and b does not = 5 is the one that will yield no solution.
Look at B.
6x+2y=8
6x-6x+2y=-6x+8
2y=-6x+8
2y/2=-6x/2+8/2
y=-3x+4
The slope m=-3 and the y-intercept b=4
This line is parallel to y=-3x+5 the lines will never intersect to give you a solution.
Happy Calculating!!!
You can put this solution on YOUR website! B.) 6x+2y=8
The slope of this line is -3 so this
line is parallel to the given line
so a system with two two equations
would have no solution.
