The system of linear equations x + y + 1 = 0 and 2x + 2y + 7 = 0 has:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Compare ratios: a1a2=12\dfrac{a_1}{a_2} = \dfrac{1}{2}, b1b2=12\dfrac{b_1}{b_2} = \dfrac{1}{2}, c1c2=17\dfrac{c_1}{c_2} = \dfrac{1}{7}. Since a1a2=b1b2≠c1c2\dfrac{a_1}{a_2} = \dfrac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}, the lines are parallel and distinct, so the system is inconsistent and has no solution.
