Answer:

One solution

Explanation:

To start, let's simplify the equations to slope-intercept form

y - 1/4x = =1

+1/4x +1/4x

y = 1/4x - 1

y - 2 = 4x

+2 +2

y = 4x + 2

As you can see, the equations do not have anything in common worth mentioning. The slopes are different and the y-intercepts are different, so there must be only one solution.
