ASAP PLEASE HELP I BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR 5 HOURS

What is the solution of the system? Use the elimination method.
−4x+y=−6
8x−2y=14
The only solution is (0, −32) .
The only solution is (0, −6) .
There is an infinite number of solutions.
There is no solution.

So in this case, the solution is where the graphs intersect. Put the equations in y-intercept form.
-4x+y=-6
y=4x-6

8x-2y=14
-2y=14-8x
y=4x-7

These lines have the same slope, which is 4. Therefore, they are parallel. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is NO SOLUTION.
