What is the solution of the following system?

Given system:

-2x-y=1 (1)

-4x-2y=-1 (2)

2*(1) -(2)

-4x-2y +4x+2y = 2-(-1)

0=3   => there is no solution because the two lines (equations) are parallel and distinct (never meet), so no solution.

step-by-step

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.
