Answer:

Please see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations in two variables represents two lines on graph.

When both the lines have same slope, there can be two cases

  • Same slope with different y-intercepts

When two lines have same slope and different y-intercepts, that means that both lines are parallel and parallel lines have no solution.

  • Same slope with same y-intercepts

When the slope of both lines is same and the y-intercept is also same, this means that both the equations refer to the same line. This means that the system has infinite number of solutions.
