Tip: Inconsistent systems of equations has no common solution. @heafa

Answer 2

@Directrix 3/2?

Answer 3

No. The two slopes will be identical. So, not 3/2 but what?

Answer 4

@heafa

Answer 5

@directrix 2/5

Answer 6

I'm having a hard time understanding how this is working :/

Answer 7

The two lines have the same slope but different y intercepts.
Having the same slopes makes the lines parallel so that they will not intersect.
They will not meet and will have no solution and will be inconsistent.

Answer 8

What number is the same as 2/3?

Answer 9

2

Answer 10

4/6?

Answer 11

No.

Answer 12

4/6 is okay but 2/3 is better.

Answer 13

so its 2/3?

Answer 14

Correct.

Answer 15

wut

Answer 16

You are welcome.

Answer 17

you said you it can't be the same

Answer 18

I said that they did have the same slope.

>>>The two lines have the same slope but different y intercepts

Answer 19

Oh well thanks :D

Answer 20

so its 2/3? YES
