To determine which two equations form a system with no solutions, we need to identify equations that have the same slope (indicating they are parallel) but different y-intercepts. This characteristic means that the lines represented by these equations will never intersect.

Since I cannot see images or visualize diagrams, I can guide you on how to convert the equations to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and analyze them accordingly.

  1. Write each given equation in the form of y = mx + b, where:

    • m is the slope
    • b is the y-intercept.
  2. Compare the slopes (m values) of the equations:

    • If two equations have the same slope (same m) but different y-intercepts (different b), then they represent parallel lines.
  3. Select the pairs of equations that meet this criterion.

If you provide the specific equations from Options 1-6, I can help you convert them to slope-intercept form and identify the correct pair of equations.
