Question

Solving special systems
Y=x+1
-x+y=3

Answer 1

plug the first equation into the second

-x + (x + 1) = 3
1 = 3

This is obviously false, so that means the two lines are parallel and have no solution

If we rarrange -x + y = 3, we get
y = x + 3

And the first equation was y = x + 1

You can see that both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, which means that the two lines are parallel and have no solution.
