In solving the system -4x + 6y = -1 and -x + 1.5y = 0, Sue arrived at the equation 0 = -1 . Assuming Sue did not make a mistake, that means the system has:

a. (0, -1) as its only solution
b. infinitely many solutions
c. no solution
d. (-1, 0) as its only solution
e. has (0, -1) and (-1, 0) as its only solutions
