To solve the given system of linear equations by graphing, we can analyze the two equations:

  1. \(y = 5x + 3\)
  2. \(y = 5x + 15\)

Both equations are in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

For both equations:

  • The slope is 5, which means they are parallel lines.
  • The y-intercept of the first equation is 3, and the y-intercept of the second is 15.

Since both lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they will never intersect. Therefore, there are no solutions to this system of equations.

The correct answer is: No solutions.
