Answer:

none (0) ...

think of two lines (or chop sticks places on a table) ...

there are three (3) possible orientations that they can be in.

1) they cross each other at one point

2) they are on top of each other (they touch everywhere)

3) they are side by side (parallel)

in situation one we say we have a solution

in situation two we say there is an infinite solutions (the same line)

in situation three (your problem) we say there is no solution (parallel lines)
