Answer:
m = - 3 and b = - 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of linear equations will not have solutions if the two lines are parallel.
Two equations are parallel:
1. if their slopes (m) are equal
2. the y-intercep (b) are different.
As y = - 3x + 5, the value of m of the other equation, y = mx + b, in order to make a system with no solution, needs to be - 3, and the value of b need to be different to 5.
The only pair from the choices that meets that is the first option m = - 3 and b = -3.
Answer:
m = -3, b = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The values m = -3 and b = 5, forms a linear equation: y = -3x + 5. This obviously coincides with the original equation given, and so will create a system of linear equations with no solution.
