What is the solution to the system of equations?

x - 2y = -8
4x - 8y =10

A) Use the substitution method to justify that the given system of equations has no solution.

B) What do you know about the two lines in this system of equations?

Answer :

A. set the top equation as x=something. you can do this by transforming functions.
answer x=2y-8
Then you substitute 2y-8 for x in the bottom problem. 4(2y-8) - 8y= 10.
Solve for y. you will get a false equation. -32=10. Proved.

B. we know that the lines are parallel. if the line don't have a solution that means that they don't intersect. that means they must be parallel because parallel lines never intersect.
