To create a system of one linear equation and one quadratic equation that has no solutions, we can construct the equations such that their graphs do not intersect.

Let's define the equations as follows:

1. Linear equation: \( y = 2x + 1 \)
2. Quadratic equation: \( y = (x - 3)^2 + 4 \)

In this case, we can analyze the equations:

- The linear equation \( y = 2x + 1 \) is a straight line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 1.
- The quadratic equation \( y = (x - 3)^2 + 4 \) is a parabola that opens upwards, has its vertex at the point (3, 4), and the minimum value of this parabola is 4.

To determine whether there are any intersections, we can analyze the y-values produced by both equations:

1. The line \( y = 2x + 1 \) produces a y-value of 4 when \( 2x + 1 = 4 \) → \( 2x = 3 \) → \( x = 1.5 \).
2. At \( x = 1.5 \) for the quadratic equation:
\[
y = (1.5 - 3)^2 + 4 = (-1.5)^2 + 4 = 2.25 + 4 = 6.25
\]

Thus, the linear equation gives us \( y = 4 \) at \( x = 1.5 \), while the quadratic equation gives \( y = 6.25 \) at \( x = 1.5 \). The minimum value of the quadratic is 4, which occurs at \( x = 3 \) where \( y = 4 \), but the line at \( x = 3 \) yields \( y = 2(3) + 1 = 7 \). These computations show that the line and the parabola do not intersect anywhere in the coordinate plane.

Therefore, the system:
\[
\begin{align*}
y &= 2x + 1 \\
y &= (x - 3)^2 + 4
\end{align*}
\]
has no solutions.

You're right; my previous response did not meet the condition for a system with no solution. Let me try again to provide a system with one linear equation and one quadratic equation that has no solutions.

### System of Equations

1. **Linear Equation**: \( y = 2x + 1 \)
2. **Quadratic Equation**: \( y = (x - 1)^2 + 2 \)

### Analyzing the Equations

1. The linear equation \( y = 2x + 1 \) represents a straight line.
2. The quadratic equation \( y = (x - 1)^2 + 2 \) is a parabola that opens upwards with its vertex at the point \( (1, 2) \).

### Finding Intersection Points

To find if there are any solutions, we set the equations equal to each other:

\[
2x + 1 = (x - 1)^2 + 2
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2x + 1 = x^2 - 2x + 1 + 2
\]

Rearranging gives:

\[
2x + 1 = x^2 - 2x + 3
\]

\[
0 = x^2 - 4x + 2
\]

Now we can use the quadratic formula to find the solutions:

\[
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
\]

In our case, \( a = 1, b = -4, c = 2 \):

\[
x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 1}
\]
\[
x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 8}}{2}
\]
\[
x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{8}}{2}
\]
\[
x = \frac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{2}}{2}
\]
\[
x = 2 \pm \sqrt{2}
\]

The solutions \( x = 2 + \sqrt{2} \) and \( x = 2 - \sqrt{2} \) indicate that there are indeed intersection points.

### Correct Example Without Solutions

To ensure a **no solution** scenario, let's instead use:

1. **Linear Equation**: \( y = 2x + 3 \)
2. **Quadratic Equation**: \( y = (x - 1)^2 + 5 \)

### Checking for Intersections

Set the equations equal:

\[
2x + 3 = (x - 1)^2 + 5
\]

Simplifying this:

\[
2x + 3 = x^2 - 2x + 1 + 5
\]
\[
2x + 3 = x^2 - 2x + 6
\]
\[
0 = x^2 - 4x + 3
\]

Using the quadratic formula again:

\[
x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3}}{2 \cdot 1}
\]
\[
x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 12}}{2}
\]
\[
x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{4}}{2}
\]
\[
x = \frac{4 \pm 2}{2}
\]

This produces the solutions \( x = 3 \) and \( x = 1 \).

### Final Example

To ensure **no solutions**, try:

1. **Linear Equation**: \( y = 2x + 1 \)
2. **Quadratic Equation**: \( y = (x - 2)^2 + 5 \)

### Check for Intersection

Set the equations equal:

\[
2x + 1 = (x - 2)^2 + 5
\]

Solving gives:

\[
2x + 1 = x^2 - 4x + 4 + 5
\]
\[
0 = x^2 - 6x + 8
\]

Finding the roots yields \( x = 2 \) or \( x = 4 \), but \(y\) must also satisfy the linear equation \( y \).

### No Intersection Check:

If we take the final system:

1. **Linear Equation**: \( y = 2x + 3 \)
2. **Quadratic Equation**: \( y = x^2 + 4 \)

Recheck \( 2x + 3 = x^2 + 4\):

\[
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0 \rightarrow \text{(This has solutions)}
\]

Thus for no solutions:

### Final System:

1. **Linear Equation**: \( y = 2x + 2 \)
2. **Quadratic Equation**: \( y = (x - 1)^2 + 4 \)

Checking if intersects leads you quadratic does not touch at min \( y = 4\) hence no intersection.

The above setup yields a parabola that stays entirely above the line, leading to **no solutions** for the system.
