In the system:


\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x-4 \\ y=(1)/(2)x+5 \end{gathered}

Both lines have the same slope, this means that they are parallel. The solution for a system of equations is the point were these two lines meet. But when 2 lines are parallel, they don't meet (never). This means that this system has no solution.
