  1. Identify Parallel Lines: Understand when a system of equations has no solution.\newlineA system of linear equations has no solution when the lines are parallel. Parallel lines have the same slope but different yy-intercepts.
  2. Compare Slopes: Compare the slopes of the given equations.\newlineThe slope of the first equation y=4.5x+3y = 4.5x + 3 is 4.54.5.\newlineThe slope of the second equation y=C(x+2)y = C(x + 2) can be found by distributing CC to get y=Cx+2Cy = Cx + 2C.\newlineFor the lines to be parallel, the slopes must be equal, so we set the slopes equal to each other: 4.5=C4.5 = C.
  3. Solve for C: Solve for C.\newlineSince we have the equation 4.5=C4.5 = C, the value of CC that would make the lines parallel (and thus have no solution) is C=4.5C = 4.5.
