I think its c but im not sure

abmon98 · Answer

Parallel lines share the same gradient so convert them into slope intercept form 
y=-2x+6
3y=-6x+18 Divide by 3 
y=-2x+6
Parallel lines never intersect

oh so it is parallel?

aum · Answer

Divide the second equation throughout by 3. What do you get?

aum · Answer

6x + 3y = 18 
divide by 3
2x + y = 6

The second equation is identical to the first equation.
Therefore, the two equations represent one and the same line.

They are overlapping lines.

so it is a

yes @aum is right am sorry they are both the same line
