In the given system of equations, $b$ is a constant. If the system has no solution, what is the value of $b$?
$$2x+7y=2+y$$
$$x=by+2$$
Answer:
Answer:
-3
Explanation
The correct answer is $-3$.
In order for a linear system of equations to have no solutions, the two linear equations must be parallel, while not overlapping.
✨ Expert's Tip ✨
If the two lines are parallel and have the same $y$-intercepts, there will be infinite number of solutions to the system.
