Answer:

no (or maybe)

Explanation:

NO:

Two lines with the same slope and y-intercept will be identical lines. Every point that satisfies one equation will also satisfy the other, so there will be an infinite number of solutions. (not no solution)

__

MAYBE:

If those two lines are part of a larger system that includes parallel lines (or non-intersecting curves), then that larger system will have no solution.
