Nita graphed the system of equations on the graph below. y=-3(x+2) y=-3x-6

Which explains why there is only one line?

A. Each has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of –6, so the system has infinitely many solutions.
B. Each has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of –6, so the system has no solution.
C. Each has a slope of –3, but one has a y-intercept of 2 and the other has a y-intercept of –6. So, the system has infinitely many solutions.
D. Each has a slope of –3, but one has a y-intercept of 2 and the other has a y-intercept of –6. So, the system has no solution.
