A

No solution

B

Infinite solutions

C

(0,5)(0, 5)

D

(1,8)(1, 8)

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Parallel lines.

  1. Slopes: Both are 3.
  2. Intercepts: 00 and 55 (Different).
  3. Conclusion: Parallel lines never intersect.

💡 Strategic Tip: If you try to solve, you get 3x=3x+5→0=53x = 3x + 5 \rightarrow 0 = 5 (False).

Choice B is incorrect because lines are distinct. Choice C is incorrect.Choice D is incorrect.
