If a system has no solution, its graph might look similar to the graph shown.
Recall that the solution to a system is the point where the lines intersect. If a system has no solution, it must be then that the lines never intersect. In fact, the lines must be parallel, meaning that they have the same slope and different y-intercepts. An example of one such system is
{y=3x+2y=3x−5.
