What is the solution to the system of equations? you must show all work to recieve full credit! 2x - 6y = -12x - 2y = -8a. use the subtitution method to justify that the given system of equations has no solition? b. what do you know about the two lines in this sysyem of equations?

Use the substitution method:
2x - 6y = -12
x - 2y = -8
Then x = 2y - 8
Substitute in the first equation:
2(2y - 8) - 6y = -12
4y - 16 - 6y = -12
-2y = 4
y = -2
Now substitute y in one of the two equations given you prefer:
For example x-2*(-2) = -8
x + 4 = -8
x = -12
The solutions are x = -12 and y = -2

Yes, two vertical lines can be complementary
