Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the system graphically, we plot the two equations.

The plot shows that the equations have infinitely many solutions; therefore, any value (x,y) will satisfy both equations.

As an example of a solution, we pick (1,2) and check if it satisfies the system.
