Your answer is one solution, reason is look at the picture, intersecting lines are one solution, parallel lines are no solutions and infinitely many solutions have two lines directly at the same spot.

Hope this helped!

u will notice that if u put them in y = mx + b form, where m is ur slope and b is ur y intercept, they both have different slopes and different y intercepts...this means they will have one solution.
If they would have had the same slope but different y intercepts, they would have been parallel lines resulting in no solutions.
If they would have had the same slope and the same y intercept, they would have been coincident, resulting in infinite solutions.
