if you are talking about 2 linear equations
y_1=m_1x+b_1 and
y_2=m_2x+b_2


1. 1 solution: means they intersect at one point meaning that they can't be paralell meaning slopes must be different. y-intercepts are irrelevant


slopes: different

y-ints: whatver you want, doesn't matter




2. many solutions usually means they are shte same line

so their sloeps and y-intercepts are the same


slopes: same

y-ints: same




3. undefined means tehy don't intersect meaning they are paralell meaning they have same slopes but different y-intercepts


slopes: same

y-ints: different

1. One Solution: Slopes:1 and -1 y-ints:1 and 2


2. Many: Slopes:1 and 1 y-ints:1 and 1


3. Undefined: Slopes:1 and 1 y-ints:1 and 2
