You can put this solution on YOUR website!

+-16x%2B2y=-2....eq.1
y=8x-1........eq.2
here you have a system of two linear equations, and you can solve it by substitution method
+-16x%2B2y=-2....eq.1 ..substitute y from eq.2
+-16x%2B2%288x-1%29=-2.....solve for x
+-16x%2B16x-2=-2
+-cross%2816x%29%2Bcross%2816x%29-cross%282%29=-cross%282%29
0=0
so, there is no intersection point, lines lie on top of each other
if we write +-16x%2B2y=-2 in slope-intercept form we will get
+2y=16x-2
+2y%2F2=16x%2F2-2%2F2
y=8x-1 which is actually your eq.2
