Math Problem Statement
Solution
The system of equations in the image is:
Step 1: Analyze the equations
Notice that both equations have the same slope of . This means that the two lines are parallel. When two lines are parallel, they never intersect.
Step 2: Identify the number of solutions
Since the lines are parallel and do not intersect, there is no solution to the system of equations. This is an example of an inconsistent system.
