Explain when a system of equations will have no solution and when it will have an infinite number of solutions.
----------------------------------
No solutions is the same as no common intersection point in the graphing
of the set of equations.
-------------
Infinite number of solutions is the same as coincidence (overlap) of the
graphs of two or more of the equations in the system.
