You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need help in knowing how many solutions does this system have, exactly one, many solutions, or no solutions.
x+3y=0
12y=-4x
------
Put the equations into slope-intercept form::
y = (-1/3)x
----
y = (-4/12)x = (-1/3)x
-------
The slopes are the same:: m = -1/3 and the intercepts are the same.
The two lines are really one line.
----
Ans:: infinite # of solutions
---------------
