Explanation:

this has infinitely many solutions.

why, because both equations are actually representing the same function.

-x + 6y = -2

let's multiply both sides by -4, and the result is

4x - 24y = 8

exactly the same as the second equation.

as both are the same function, their curves are covering each other perfectly, so that every point on the curves is an intersection and therefore solution.

so : infinitely many solutions.
