Graph the equations to solve the system Y equals 1/3 X +6 and y equals 1/3 X +4
Following the formula: y=mx+b,where:m= slopeb=y-interceptAs observed in the given equations, they have the same slope which is equal to 1/3 but each have different y-intercept which is 6 and 4.
Note that two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal and they have different y-intercepts.
Upon graphing, it had seen that the two functions are parallel.See attached picture for the graph.

For this case we have the following functions:
y = (1/3) x + 6
y = (1/3) x + 4
We note that both lines have the same slope in this case given by:
m = 1/3
Therefore, the lines are parallel.
As they are parallel, they are not cut at any point.
Thus, the system of equations has no solution.
Answer:
The system has no solution (parallel lines)
