    Answer

    1.

    The figure shows a parabola and line graphed on the x y coordinate plane. The x-axis of the plane runs from negative 5 to 5. The y-axis of the plane runs from negative 4 to 4. The parabola has a vertex at (0, 0) and opens upward. The line has a slope of 2 with a y-intercept at negative 1. The parabola and line do not intersect, so the system has no solution.
