What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x − 6y = −12
−x + 2y = 8

a.) Use the substitution or elimination method to solve the system of equations.

b.) Based on your answer what do you know about the two lines in this system of equations on a graph? Are the lines parallel, do they intersect at a point or are they the same line?

There is no solution to this system. sorry

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side of the first equation is 3 times the left side of the second one.

If we multiply the whole of the second equation by 3 we get:

3x - 6y = -16.

As the first equation is 3x - 6y = -12 we see that there is no solution to this system.  3x - 6y can't be equal to -12 and -16.

nope.   happens to me as well.

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
