Math Problem Statement
Solution
To create a system of equations in slope-intercept form with no solution, we need two lines that are parallel, as parallel lines never intersect.
In slope-intercept form (), two lines are parallel if they have the same slope () but different -intercepts ().
Here’s an example of such a system:
- First equation:
- Second equation:
These equations both have a slope of 2, which makes the lines parallel, but different -intercepts (1 and 3), ensuring they will never intersect and therefore have no solution.
So, for the blanks:
- Blank 1:
- Blank 2:

Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:
- What condition ensures that two lines in slope-intercept form have no solution?
- How can you tell if two lines are parallel just by looking at their equations?
- What happens if the two lines have the same slope and same intercept?
- How would the system look if it had infinitely many solutions instead?
- Why do different -intercepts prevent two lines from intersecting?
Tip: In slope-intercept form, always focus on the slope () to determine if lines are parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting.
