m1 = -A/B = 1/-8 = -1/8,
m2 = -4/32 = -1/8,
The solution is the point where the 2 lines intersect, but they have equal
slopes and are, therefore, parallel and
do not intersect. So there is no solution.
Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
-x – 8y = 43
4x + 32y = 172
