Answer:

Parallel lines do not intersect therefore the system of equations cannot have any solution. Therefore there no solutions to the given system of equations.

Explanation:

Aaron and Blake both wrote down equation. Their equation has the same slope, But Aaron's y-intercept was negative and Blake's y-intercept was positive.

Therefore both equations will represent lines that are parallel.

Parallel lines do not intersect therefore the system of equations cannot have any solution.
