You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It can't be "solved" because you haven't asked any questions about it.
If there were another equation I could tell you where they meet or that they don't meet
There are many solutions because there are two unknowns.
I can tell you the slope. I can tell you where x=0 and y=0.
I can get another equation parallel or even perpendicular to it.
If you give me a point (ordered pair) I can tell you if it is on this line.
I can make another equation that will have the same solution set.
Graph it by picking any x of your choosing and calculate y.
Usually for a linear equation we pick where x is zero and y is zero
