Solution

- Whenever two lines cross, the points of intersection are the solutions to the system of equations or lines.

- We are told that the two lines have the same slopes. This implies that the lines are parallel.

- If the lines are parallel, then, they do not intersect at any point.

- If they do not intersect at any point, it implies that there is no solution for the system of lines or equations.

Final Answer

The answer is 0 (OPTION A)
