The pair of equations have one ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. If graphed the two lines will cross once.
A system of equations may have any amount of solutions. If the equations are linear, the system will have either no solution, one solution, or an infinite number of solutions. If the equations are linear AND there are as many equations as variables, AND they are independent, the system will have exactly one solution.
It means that the equations are actually both the same one. When they're graphed, they both turn out to be the same line.
A system of linear equations that has at least one solution is called consistent.
The graphs of the two equations have only one intersection point.
