Sagot :

Given:

The system of equations is

[tex]y=1.5x-3[/tex]

[tex]y=1.5x+4[/tex]

To find:

The true statement about the given system of equations.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

[tex]y=1.5x-3[/tex]

[tex]y=1.5x+4[/tex]

On comparing these two lines with slope intercept form, we get

[tex]m_1=1.5,b_1=-3[/tex]

[tex]m_2=1.5,b_2=4[/tex]

Since the slopes of the lines are equal but the y-intercepts are different, therefore, the two lines are parallel and the system has no solution.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
