The lines are parallel; there is no solution for the system.

They're straight lines, so you need 2 points for each equation.
Pick values for x and find y.
Plot the 2 points.
Draw a line thru them.
The solution of the system is where the lines intersect.
-----------
If the lines are parallel, there's no intersection --> no solution.
