Explanation:

Put both of the equations into y = mx + b form to compare them

m = slope if they have the same slope they are parallel and do not intersect

b = y axis intercept

if m and b are equal in each of the equations , they are the same line

2x+y = 0 ======> y = - 2x + 0

2y = -4x + 6 ====> y = - 2x + 3

The both have the same slope = -2 so they are parallel

but they have different b values so they are not the same lines

No intersection means no solution : parallel lines do not intersect
