Answer:

B

Explanation:

One way to tell is to put both equations into slope-intercept form. That form is usually written
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Solve the first equation for y.


6x+2y=5 \\ 2y=-6x+5 \\ y=-3x+5/2

The slope of this line is -3, and its y-intercept is 5/2.

Solve the second equation for y.


y+3x=2\\y=-3x+2

The slope of this line is -3 and its y-intercept is 2.

The lines are parallel because they have the same slope and different y-intercepts. There is no solution to the system.
