Give me the exact question being  asked

anonymous · Answer

okay  y= 5x + 10 ( line a)
y=5x + 2 ( line b) 
how many solutions can there be in the question
infinite 
none 
one 
two

anonymous · Answer

my answer is no solutions is that correct?

Line a slope of 5 being parallel. It has no solution

j.f · Answer

they both have a slope of 5 so they both have no solution

anonymous · Answer

@Djdman, yes it has no solution because the lines have the same slope (it is given since the equations are written in slope-intercept form) so they have no solution and would be parallel. Furthermore, you cannot use substitution as you said in the question because your only variable that is given an “alternate” value (demonstrated by equal sign) is y in both equations, so you have nothing to substitute for, you only have the equations of two lines given in slope-intercept form.
