What part of this is bothering you? The plot the graph part or the interpretation of the result?

Here's a plot of the graphs of the two equations:

The red line is and the green line is . The result is that you have parallel lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution to the system of equations. We say that this system is inconsistent to describe the situation where there are no elements in the solution set.

If you need help with how a graph is plotted for a given equation, write back.
