Question

pxrson · Answer

No solution, they are parallel.

will.h · Answer

There are 2 ways we can solve for system of equations. Do u know them?

will.h · Answer

Alright. We have substitution method. And elimination method

will.h · Answer

And that guy is right they are parallel but here's the proof

will.h · Answer

-2x -y = 1 
-4x -2y = 1 
I will use elimination method as it is easier in this case.  
How? 
We will need to eliminate one of the variables and then solve for the other 
So we will eliminate the x variables by multiplying the 1st equation by -2 
-2(-2x -y) = 1
Simplify it 
4x + 2y = 1 
And now type in the other equation 
-4x-2y = 1

will.h · Answer

Notice that if we get to simplify that system of equations 
4x + 2y = 1 
-4x -2y = 1 
----------------------
0x 0y = 2 
See that the variables have been eliminated
