A. A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants shows x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. A line is plotted on the plane. A downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points left parenthesis 0 comma 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 0 right parenthesis.

B. A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants shows x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. Two parallel lines are plotted on the plane. A solid downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points left parenthesis 0 comma 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 0 right parenthesis. A dotted downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points left parenthesis 0 comma 4 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 4 comma 0 right parenthesis.

D. A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants shows x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. Two intersecting lines are plotted on the plane. A solid downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points left parenthesis 0 comma 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 0 right parenthesis. A dotted downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points left parenthesis negative 6 comma 4 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 3 comma 3 right parenthesis.

This graph shows that the linear system has an infinite number of solutions because the two lines are parallel, indicating that they will never intersect and therefore have multiple solutions.
