Show graphically that each one of the following systems of equations is in-consistent (i.e. has no solution):

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

3x – 4y – 1 = 0 passes through (1/3, 0) and (0, -1/4)

2x – 8y/3 + 5 = 0 passes through (-5/2, 0) and (0, 15/8)

Both are parallel lines, thus system of equations is in-consistent.
