Answer:

infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations:

  • y = -6x+2
  • -12x - 2y = -4

Rearrange the second equation to make y the subject:

⇒ -12x - 2y = -4

⇒ -12x - 2y + 2y = -4 + 2y

⇒ -12x = -4 + 2y

⇒ -12x + 4 = -4 + 2y + 4

⇒ -12x + 4 = 2y

⇒ (-12x + 4) ÷ 2 = 2y ÷ 2

⇒ y = -6x + 2

Comparing the rearranged equation with the first equation, we can see that both equations are the same.  

Therefore, as there is only one line, there are an infinite number of solutions.
