Homework due next class (Please show all steps of working)

When two simultaneous equations produce graphs which are parallel there
are no solutions.

4. Show that the simultaneous equations have no solutions.

y – 2x = 3
2y = 4x + 1

Sometimes pairs of simultaneous equations are represented by the same graph.

For example,

When two simultaneous equations can be rearranged to give the same equation
they have an infinite number of solutions.

5. Solve each system by graphing the equations on the same set of axes. Tell
whether the system has no solutions or infinitely many solutions?
