We have the following system of equations:


\begin{cases}5x+y=5 \\ 5x+y=-2\end{cases}

This correspond to two parallel lines. As parallel lines don't intersect (at least not for finite coordinates), the system does not have a solution for x and y.

Answer: C. The system has no solution because the lie
