Answer:

B. The equations create the same line

Explanation:

A system of two linear equations have either 0, 1 or infinite solutions.

Since you have 2 solutions, there have to be infinitely many more. That means you have written the same line twice. The solution is B.

Alternatively, you can think that given two points, there is one and only one line that passes through both.
