Explain why the simultaneous equations y = -2/3x + 4/3 and 12x + 18y = 24 have an infinite number of solutions. What can you deduce/conclude about the two straight lines representing the equations?​

Answer:

It's the same equation

Explanation:

12x+18y=24

y=(-12x+24)/18

y=-2/3x+4/3

The intersect is the solution, so there are infinitely many solutions
