Answer:

Look below!

Explanation:

From the picture, the answer is A.

From the points, calculate the slope using y2-y1/x2-x1

you will find that the slope is -1

parallel lines have the same slope

so y = -x+1 is the correct answer

now,

parallel lines never intersect

therefore, they have no solution.
