Question 222591
y=2x-4  Equation A
y=2x+4  Equation B


Subtract Equation A from Equation B

y-y=2x-2x+4-(-4)


0=8 ...Not a true statement.   We also note that the lines are parallel since they have the same slope m=2 since the above equations are in slope-intercept form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept when x=0 or at point(0,b).


ANSWER:  There is no solution since the two lines cannot intersect or are in parallel.


I hope the above steps were helpful.
