Answer:

Explanation:

if the system of linear equation has no solution means that the lines do not intersect so they to not have any points in common ( there are no points that belong to both lines in the same time)

Think of equation as a rule and system of equation as two or more rules that have to be followed in the same time .

If you are asked to look in a parking lot full of cars and find what cars have

rule 1 -red color ( equation 1) and rule 2- is a truck ( equation 2) the cars you find are the solution of this system because the rules are true in the same time
