Answer: The system of equations has NO SOLUTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the following system of equations:

[tex]\left \{ {{4x-5y=5} \atop {-0.08x+0.10y=0.10}} \right.[/tex]

Write the first equation and solve for "y" in order to express it in Slope-Intercept form:

[tex]4x-5y=5\\\\-5y=-4x+5\\\\y=\frac{-4x}{-5}+\frac{5}{-5}\\\\y=0.8x-1[/tex]

You can identify that:

[tex]m=0.8\\b=-1[/tex]

Apply the same procedure with the second equation. Then:

[tex]-0.08x+0.10y=0.10\\\\0.10y=0.08x+0.10\\\\y=\frac{0.08x}{0.10} +\frac{0.10}{0.10}\\\\y=0.8x+1[/tex]

You can identify that:

[tex]m=0.8\\b=1[/tex]

The slopes of both lines are equal, therefore  the lines are parallel and the system has NO SOLUTION.

answer: A

(no solutions)
