You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Line 1: From (-4,5) to (0,2) is 4 to the right and down 3, so the slope is -3/4.
Line 2: From (0,5) to (4,2) is 4 to the right and down 3, so the slope is -3/4.
The slopes are the same; the lines are parallel; there are no solutions to the system of equations.
