Part A:The first equation is:


\begin{gathered} y=(2)/(3)x-1 \\ 3y=2x-3 \\ -2x+3y=-3 \end{gathered}

Which is the same as the second equation.

Hence the system has infinitely mant solutions.

Part B:The equations are:


y=-(1)/(2)x-(3)/(2),y=-2x-6

Solve the equations to get:


\begin{gathered} (-1)/(2)x-(3)/(2)=-2x-6 \\ (3)/(2)x=(-9)/(2) \\ x=-3 \end{gathered}

Substitute the value of x in any of the equations to get:


y=(-1)/(2)*-3-(3)/(2)=0

Hence the system has unique solution whicch is (-3,0)

Part C:The equations are:


y=(2)/(3)x-2,y=(2)/(3)x-3

The system represents a pair of parallel lines hence the system has no solution:
