Given:

The system of equation is,


\begin{gathered} y=-3x+8 \\ 6x+2y=16 \end{gathered}

Simplify both the equation,


\begin{gathered} y=-3x+8 \\ 3x+y-8=0\ldots\ldots\ldots\text{.}(1) \end{gathered}

and,


\begin{gathered} 6x+2y=16 \\ \text{Divide by 2 on both side} \\ (6x)/(2)+(2y)/(2)=(16)/(2) \\ 3x+y=8 \\ 3x+y-8=0\ldots\ldots\ldots.(2) \end{gathered}

It is observed that both the equations of line are same. moreover the lines completely overlap.

It shows the system has infinitely many solutions.

Now check the points (-5,0) ,(7, -13),(1,8),(-2, 14) represents the solution of the given system of equation.


\begin{gathered} \text{For }(7,-13) \\ \text{Put x=7 in }3x+y-8=0 \\ 3(7)+y-8=0 \\ 21-8+y=0 \\ y=-13 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{For (-2,14)} \\ \text{Put x=-2 in }3x+y-8=0 \\ 3(-2)+y-8=0 \\ -6-8+y=0 \\ y=14 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{For (1,8) ,Put x = 1} \\ 3x+y-8=0 \\ 3(1)+y-8=0 \\ y-5=0 \\ y=5 \\ \end{gathered}

This is not the solution of the given system of equations as it does not satisfy the equation.

Also point ( -5,0) is also not the solution of the equation.

Answer:

The system of equation has infinitely many solution and point (7, -13) and (-2, 14) is the solution.
