One of the two equations in a system of linear equations is given. The system has no solution. Which equation could be the second equation in this system?
Explanation
Question Type: Math (Systems with No Solution)
💡 Trick: No solution = parallel lines = same slope, different constants.
Solution:
- Original: 5x = 50y - 125 → x = 10y - 25
- Need parallel: same slope (10y), different constant
- B) x/5 = 2y → x = 10y (constant = 0 ≠-25)
- x/5 = 2y
Answer: B) x/5 = 2y
