Heather writes the equations below to represent two lines drawn on the coordinate plane. –6x + 18y = 0 4x – 12y = 20 After applying the linear combination method, Heather arrived at the equation 0 = 60. What conclusion can be drawn about the system of equations?

Answer:

The system has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check it graphically, the pair of equations represents two lines, if they never cross, or if they are parallel, the system of equations is inconsistent and has no solution.

I attached you two pictures in which you can see the graphical result.
