Two lines, A and B, are represented by the equations given below: Line A: x + y = 6 Line B: x + y = 4 Which statement is true about the solution to the set of equations? (5 points)     There are infinitely many solutions. There is no solution. It is (6, 4). It is (4, 6).

Jebediah:

@ThisGirlPretty

Jebediah:

I think it is "It is 6,4"

dude:

They are both parallel lines Therefore they have no solutions

Jebediah:

Oh okay

Jebediah:

Thanks again dude

Shadow:

@dude is correct. When the lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Since they have different y intercepts, that means that they will never intersect. This is what it would look like: |dw:1517256184279:dw|

Shadow:

If they never intersect, there is no possibility of a solution.

Jebediah:

Oh ok. Tanks :D
