Answer:

Explanation:

One solution: when two lines intersect in exactly one point.

Infinitely many solutions: When one of two lines can be shown algebraically to be exactly the same as the other. The two lines coincide.

No solution: The two lines have the same slope but different y -intercepts. They can't and don't intersect.
