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