    systems have no solution if they have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.

    3/4x - 1/2y = 12, y = 2 (3/4x - 12) = 3/2x - 24

    ax - by = 9, y = (ax-9) / b, = ax/b - 9/b

    for the slopes to be the same, following must be true:

    ax/b = 3/2x

    a/b = 3/2

    Correct answer is C
