Answer:

The lines are the same. (Infinite Solutions)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to get either x or y to cancel out and equal 0 first.

Let's look at our two equations.

4x-5y=(-2)

-8x+10y=4

I'm going to divide the -8x by 2. Remember when dividing to divide both sides of the equation, otherwise you will end up with something completely different than what you started out with.

-8x+10y=4 (divided by 2)

Our new equation is -4x+5y=2.

Now let's take our other equation. Please see the screenshot to see how this is solved.

Forgive the horrible handwriting, I'm on a computer :(
