1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve the given system of equations by graphing. The system of equations is:
y=x+4y = -x + 4
x+y=12x + y = \frac{1}{2}

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to rewrite the second equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b).
x+y=12x + y = \frac{1}{2}
y=x+12y = -x + \frac{1}{2}
Now we have the system in slope-intercept form:
y=x+4y = -x + 4
y=x+12y = -x + \frac{1}{2}
Since the slopes are equal (both are 1-1) and the y-intercepts are different (4 and 12\frac{1}{2}), the lines are parallel. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution to this system of equations.

3. Final Answer

No Solution.
