To determine which of the given systems of linear equations has no solution, we need to check for parallel lines, which occur when the lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

Let's analyze each system:

  1. System 1:
    {4xy=17 4xy=3

Here, both equations have the same left-hand side (same slope) but different right-hand sides (17 and 3), indicating that the lines are parallel and will never intersect. Therefore, this system has no solution.

  1. System 2:
    {4x+y=17 4xy=3

The slopes of the first equation is -4 (rearranging gives us y=4x+17) and the second equation has a slope of 4 (rearranging gives us y=4x3). Since the slopes are different, these lines will intersect. Thus, this system has a solution.

  1. System 3:
    {4xy=17 4x+y=3

Again, the first equation has a slope of -4, while the second equation has a slope of 4. Since the slopes are different, these lines will also intersect. Thus, this system has a solution.

  1. System 4:
    {4xy=17 4x+y=3

Similar to the previous systems, the first equation has a slope of -4 and the second equation has a slope of 4. These lines will intersect, meaning this system also has a solution.

Based on the analysis, the system that has no solution is:

System 1: {4xy=17 4xy=3

This system is the only one with parallel lines.
