Answer:

No statements are included in the question. Several observations are noted.

Explanation:

y = 6x + 2

y = 6x + 1

y=mx+b is the equation for a straight line, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

Observations

1. These are both straight lines.

2. The slopes are both the same: +6. The lines are parallel.

3. Since they are parallel, they will never intersect (within the solar system)

4. The second line is one unit lower than the first: it's y-intercept is +1, comapared to +2 for the first.

5. Since they do not intercept, there is no solution for this system of equations.

These will likely match some of the statements.
