When two lines intersect then there are two possible cases:

1) The lines intersect at one point.

In this case, there is only one unique solution.

2) The lines overlap

In this case, there are infinitely many solutions.

Therefore, two intersecting lines have either one common point or an infinite number of common points.

The correct answer is

b. false, graphs of two lines either intersect in one point or overlap.
