"no solution"

Explanation:

"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form" is.

•color(white)(x)y=mx+b

"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"

"both equations are in this form"

y=1/3xtom=1/3

y=1/3x-2tom=1/3

• " Parallel lines have equal slopes"

"Since the lines are parallel they never intersect thus there"
"is no solution"
graph{(y-1/3x)(y-1/3x+2)=0 [-10, 10, -5.005, 4.995]}
