Answer:

x+y=4

Explanation:

No solution means that the lines will never intersect. We know that the slope of line A is -1, and it's y intercept is 2. If you look at the last option for the answer choices, it's slope is also -1, but it's y intercept is at 4. These lines have the same slope, also known as parallel, so they will never intersect, thus giving no solution
