The graphs are do not intersect.![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/userfiles/image/steps_images/step3.JPG\")
Since their graphs are parallel lines. there is no solution .This system is inconsistent.![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/userfiles/image/steps_images/solution.JPG\")
The system is inconsistent.
