As we can see, both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts. This means that both lines are parallel.

If both lines had the same slope and the same y-intercept, they would be essentially the same line, and that would mean infinite solutions.

But, we have the same slope and different y-intercepts. This means that the lines are parallel, and thus have no solution.

Your answer is A. No Solution.
