Those two lines have the same slope.
\n" ); document.write( "Lines with the same slope are either parallel to each other, or they are the same line.
\n" ); document.write( "Since the y-intercepts are diffetrent, they cross the y-axis at different points and are different lines, $\"highlight%28parallel%29\"$ to each other.
\n" ); document.write( "Being parallel, they have no point in common, so there is no (x, y) that satisfies both equations.
\n" ); document.write( "As a consequence, the system has $\"highlight%280%29\"$ solutions.
\n" ); document.write( "The lines look like this:
