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.

For the linear system \( y = -x + 6 \) and \( 3x + 3y = 18 \) to have an infinite number of solutions, the two equations must represent the same line. This occurs when the second equation is a multiple of the first.
First, let's rewrite the second equation:
1. \( 3x + 3y = 18 \) can be simplified by dividing both sides by 3:
\[
x + y = 6 \quad \text{(which can be rewritten as \( y = -x + 6 \))}
\]
Since both equations describe the same line, they will overlap completely on a graph.
Now, let's analyze your options:
- The first graph shows two intersecting lines. This indicates that there is only one solution.
- The second graph shows a single line, which represents only one equation and doesn't provide infinite solutions.
- The third graph shows two parallel lines. This indicates that the equations are not the same and do not intersect, meaning no solutions exist.
- The fourth graph includes the line from \( y = -x + 6 \) and does not include another line, representing the same line as \( y = -x + 6 \).
Therefore, the correct graph that shows the linear system has an infinite number of solutions is the fourth option, which displays the line \( y = -x + 6 \) alone.
**Final answer:** The fourth option.
