Question

The equation of line A is y = 6x + 12. Line B is parallel to line A and passes through the point (2, 22). What would be the solution to the system of equations represented by line A and line B?

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

line A: y=6x+12

line B: 22=6(2)+b where 'b' is y-intercept

22=12 + b; therefore, equation for line B is y = 6x+10

6x+12=6x+10 produces no solution; also, parallel lines never intersect and intersection is considered the solution
