Question

What is the solution of the following system of equations?: #y = (1/3)x + 6, y = (1/3)x - 6#

Answer 1

`" no solution"`

Explanation:

The 2 equations are of the form `y=mx+b` where m represents the slope and b the y-intercept.

`"both have a slope " m=1/3` which indicates they are `color(blue)" parallel lines"`

Thus the lines do not intersect hence there is no solution.
graph{(y-1/3x+6)(y-1/3x-6)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
