For a system of lines a1x + b1y + c1 = 0; a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
If a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2, the lines are overlapping (or coincident or same lines)
If a1/a2 = b1/b2= c1/c2, the lines are parallel
If a1/a2= b1/b2, the lines are intersecting
Here we have the system 2x + y - 6 = 0; 6x + 3y - 12 = 0.
We can see that
2/6 = 1/3= -6/-12
So, the lines are parallel lines. Their graphs will be parallel to each other and they'll never touch or intersect each other.
