Question

Which values of m and b will create a system of equations with no solution? Check all that apply.

y = mx + b

y = –2x +

Answer 1

y = m x + b
y = - 2 x +3/2
A system of equations has no solutions when the slopes of the linear equations are equal ( and y-intercept is not, because in that case the system has infinitely many solutions.
Answers:
B ) m = -2 and b = -1/3
E ) m = -2, and b = -2/3
