solve systems of linear equations by graphing. For example,
2x+y=2
6x=-3y-9
----
Put both in slope-intercept form::
y = -2x+2
y = -2x-3
-----
Since the slopes are the same (m = -2), and the interecepts are
not the same, the lines are parallel.
There is no solution.

You didn't submit 2 equations. Didn't you realize that? 
To get help that will include a correct answer, you need to submit correct info.
