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

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=1→y=2x+1⇒m=2
y=2x+3⇒m=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]}
