Question 46285: Without graphing, determine whether the system has one solution, no solution, or an infinite number of solutions.
x+3y = 6
y = - 1/3x + 2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First x+3y = 6 Solve for y which yields y = - 1/3x + 2 so the two equations are equivalent. By definition the two lines are super imposed on one another and therefore their are in infinite number of solutions. I hope that this helps
