Question

Find the value of n so that the system below has no solution y=nx-3

y=-4x+3

Answer 1

• n = - 4

Explanation:

The system of linear equations has no solution when the lines are parallel. It means the lines have same slope but different y-intercepts.

The y-intercepts are different:

• -3 and 3, and the slope of one line is -4.

For the given system to have no solution we need n = -4.
