When 0.5(20x – 50y + 36) – 0.25(–100x + 40y – 12) is simplified, what is the resulting expression?

Which value of m will create a system of parallel lines with no solution? y= mx - 6 8x - 4y = 12

Aclassmate thinks that solving a system by graphing gives an exact answer when the lines appear to cross at a grid point, but only an approximate answer when they don't. explain why this isn't true.
