The system of equations is inconsistent. What are the missing values? y= 2/3x + 3 y = _/_ + 5 is it 4/6?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no 2/3 because parallel lines have equal slopes but different y intercepts

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

inconsistent system ----> parallel lines

so it is the same answer as the first equation?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

btw 4/6 = 2/3 when you reduce
