Is the correct answer Always? Systems of equations with the same slopes and different y-intercepts have no solution. Always Sometimes Never

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep thats correct since they are parallel they will never intersect and give you a solution!

Systems of equations with the same slopes and different y-intercepts have no solution. It's the correct statement.

|dw:1374872785421:dw| If we have a system of equations of two variables, x and y, they can be represented as lines. If these lines have the same slope, but different y-intercepts, that means they can never intersect each other. |dw:1374873139514:dw| In the above graph, when we try to solve for the intersections of the lines y = x and y = x + 1, we get the result that 0 = 1, which means there are no solutions.
