The linear equation of a line can be expressed as,

y=mx+c

Here, m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept.

Comparing equations y=3x+2 and y=3x-6​ with y=mx+c we find that the slope of the lines expressed by the equations is same and is equal to m=3.

If two lines have the same slope, then the lines are parallel to each other.

Two parallel lines will never intersect. Therefore, the system of equations y=3x+2 and y=3x-6​ have no solution.
