Below I have graphed the two functions by rearranging each into the form "y=mx+c" where m is the gradient and c is the y-axis intercept.
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x-4%2C+2x-6%29+
The equations of the lines are:
y=2x-4 (red)
y=2x-6 (green)
I hope this helps
P.S. I am trying to start up my own homework help website. I would be extremely grateful if you would e-mail me some feedback on the help you received to adam.chapman@student.manchester.ac.uk

If we rearrange
2x-y=4
2x-y=6
into
y = 2x - 4
y = 2x - 6
Both have a slope of 2...hence they are parallel and no solution exists...
The first one crosses the y-axis at (0, -4) and the second crosses at (0, -6).
