You can put this solution on YOUR website! DECIDE WEHTER IS SOLUTION OR INFINELY MANY SOLUTIONS
Y=3X-1
Y=-2X+4
-------------
Substitute to get:
3x-1 = -2x+4
5x = 5
x = 1
----
Substitute to solve for "y":
y = 3*1-1 = 2
---------------------------
Solution: (1,2)
It does not have an infinite number of solutions.
======================================================
It would have an infinite number of solutions if the slope
and the y-intercept were the same for the two equations.
=========================================================
