we have that


case a)

y=-3x+8 -------> equation 1

6x+2y=4.5--> 2y=-6x+4.5--> divide by 2 both sides--> y=-3x+2.25--> equation 2

equation 1 and equation 2 are parallel

because the slopes are the same

m=-3

so

the system has no solution


case b)

y=9x+6.25 -----> equation 1

-18x+2y=12.5----> 2y=18x+12.5-----> divide by 2 both sides-----> y=9x+6.25--> equation 2

equation 1 and equation 2 are the same

so

the system has infinite solutions


case c)

y=4.5x-5 -----> equation 1

-3x+2y=6----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

-3x+2*[4.5x-5]=6----> -3x+9x-10=6----> 6x=16----> x=2.67

y=4.5*(2.67)-5-----> y=7


the system has the solution (2.67,7)


case d)

y=3x+9 -----> equation 1

x+8y=12.3-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

x+8*[3x+9]=12.3----> x+24x+72=12.3----> 25x=12.3-72----> x=-2.39

y=3*(-2.39)+9-----> y=1.84


the system has the solution (-2.39,1.84)


therefore


the answer is

the system A has no solution
