Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-5X +6y=12 .........eq 1

Y=5/6x+2 ..........eq 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

-5X +6y=12

6y = 12 + 5x .......eq 3

( Y=5/6x+2 ) * 6

6Y = 5X + 12 ...........eq 4

Using equation 3 and 4:

6y = 12 + 5x

6Y = 5X + 12
