Explanation:

The systems of linear equations can have:

1. No solution: When the lines have the same slope but different y-intercept. This means that the lines are parallel and never intersect, therefore, the system of equations has no solution.

2. One solution: When the lines have different slopes and intersect at one point in the plane. The point of intersection will be the solution of the system

3. Infinitely many solutions: When the lines have the same slope and the y-intercepts are equal. This means that the equations represents the same line and there are infinite number of solution.

Therefore, based on the explained above, the conclusion is: Systems of equations with different slopes and different y-intercepts never have more than one solution.
