How do you solve the system of linear equations y=2x+3, 2x+y=1?

no solution

Explanation:

if we consider the 2 equations in slope-intercept form

xy=mx+b

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

2x+y=1y=2x+1m=2

y=2x+3m=2

the 2 lines have the same slope and are therefore
parallel

hence no point of intersection thus no solution
graph{(y-2x-3)(y-2x-1)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
