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 solid line passes through left parenthesis negative 2 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 0 comma negative 4 right parenthesis. The dashed lines pass through left parenthesis negative 4 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 0 comma negative 8 right parenthesis.

To determine which graph represents a system of equations that has no solution, we need to analyze the given equations:

  1. The first equation is \( y = 2x + 4 \). This is a linear equation with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept at (0, 4).
  2. The second equation is \( -2x + y = 8 \). We can rearrange this to \( y = 2x + 8 \), which also has a slope of 2 but a different y-intercept at (0, 8).

Both equations are lines with the same slope (2), but different y-intercepts. This means that the lines are parallel and will never intersect, indicating that the system has no solution.

Now, we need to look at the graphs you provided and identify the one that shows two parallel lines:

  • Graph 1 description suggests that one line has a y-intercept at -4 and the other at -8. This means they have different slopes and are not parallel, so this graph has a solution.

  • Graph 2 has a solid line through (2, 0) with a y-intercept of 4 and a dashed line through (0, -8). These lines also are not parallel.

  • Graph 3 has a solid line with the correct y-intercept of (0, 4) and a dashed line with a different y-intercept at (0, -8). These lines are not parallel.

  • Graph 4 has a solid line with a y-intercept of 4 and a dashed line with a y-intercept of 8. Both lines are parallel.

Based on this analysis, Graph 4 correctly shows the system of equations that has no solution since both lines are parallel.
