Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments on both the x and y axes. A solid line and a dashed line with arrows at both the ends are drawn parallel to each other on the graph. The equation of the solid line is y equals negative x plus 3. The equation of the dashed line is x plus y equals 8.

Solving the system y=−x+3
and x+y=8
by graphing shows that there is no solution to the system. Is this statement true or false? Explain.

The statement is true, because the lines are parallel.

In the given equations, the solid line is represented by \( y = -x + 3 \) and the dashed line is represented by \( x + y = 8 \). Rearranging the second equation gives \( y = -x + 8 \).

Both lines have the same slope of -1, indicating they are parallel. Since parallel lines do not intersect, there is no solution to the system of equations.
