How do you know when an equation has infinitely many solutions? How do you know when an equation has no solution?
--------------------------
There are a number of ways to answer your question. Here is one of them:
Two equations have infinitely many solutions if they have the same slope
and the same y-intercept.
------------------------
To equations have no solutions if they have the same slope and different
y-intercepts.
