The system has infinity solutions

To solve this, the problem ask us to write the system as a linear equation.

TO do this, we need to let a single variable in one side.

Let's do this with y:


\begin{cases}-6x+2y=-12 \\ -3x+y=-6\end{cases}

For the first equation:


\begin{gathered} -6x+2y=-12 \\ 2y=6x-12 \\ y=3x-6 \end{gathered}

For the second equation:


\begin{gathered} -3x+y=-6 \\ y=3x-6 \end{gathered}

Now you have to write in the first blank spaces:

y = 3 x + -6

y = 3 x + -6

Now you'll see that both lines are the same, then the system has infinite solutions, all points of one line will be on the other
