A

`y=(2)/(3)x+12`

B

`y=(3)/(2)x`

C

`y=-(3)/(2)x`

D

`y=(3)/(2)x+6`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the other equation in the system that results in no solution when paired with the given equation. The given equation is: \[ \frac{y}{6} = \frac{x}{4} = 1 \] ### Step 1: Rewrite the given equation We can break down the given equation into two separate equations: 1. \(\frac{y}{6} = 1\) 2. \(\frac{x}{4} = 1\) From these, we can solve for \(y\) and \(x\): - From \(\frac{y}{6} = 1\), we multiply both sides by 6: \[ y = 6 \] - From \(\frac{x}{4} = 1\), we multiply both sides by 4: \[ x = 4 \] ### Step 2: Identify the condition for no solution For a system of two linear equations to have no solution, the lines represented by the equations must be parallel. This means they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. ### Step 3: Analyze the options We need to check which of the provided options results in a line that is parallel to the line represented by the given equation. The line from the given equation can be rewritten in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\). We already know that: \[ y = 6 \quad \text{(a horizontal line)} \] ### Step 4: Check each option We will check each option to see if it represents a line parallel to \(y = 6\): 1. **Option A:** \(y = 2/3 x + 12\) - This has a slope of \(2/3\) (not parallel). 2. **Option B:** \(y = 3/2 x\) - This has a slope of \(3/2\) (not parallel). 3. **Option C:** \(y = -1/2 x + 6\) - This has a slope of \(-1/2\) (not parallel). 4. **Option D:** \(y = 6\) - This has a slope of \(0\) (parallel to the given line). ### Conclusion The only equation that results in no solution when paired with the given equation is: \[ y = 6 \]
