That first one is correct there is no solution since they are parallel.

We have the following system of equations:
(-1/3) x + y = -1
y = 4 + (1/3) x
Let's rewrite the system of equations:
y = (1/3) x - 1
y = (1/3) x + 4
We note that both lines have the same slope:
m = 1/3
Therefore, the lines are parallel.
The first line has a cut point with the y axis of:
(0, -1)
The second line has a cut point with the y axis of:
(0, 4)
Like the lines are parallel, the system has no solution.
Answer:
The system of equations has no solution.
