A system of linear equations
\left \{ {{a_1x+b_1y=c_1} \atop {a_2x+b_2y=c_2}} \right. has:
1. unique solution, when:
(a_1)/(a_2)\\eq (b_1)/(b_2);
2. no solutions, when:
(a_1)/(a_2) = (b_1)/(b_2) \\eq (c_1)/(c_2);
3. infinitely many solutions, when:
(a_1)/(a_2) = (b_1)/(b_2) = (c_1)/(c_2).
According to the part 3 you can create such system:

\left \{ {{x-2y=3} \atop {_2x-4y=6}} \right.
Graphs (the same line) are shown on the added picture.
