Correct Answer: Infinitely many
Solution :
Given: $4x - y = 2$-----(equation 1) and $2y - 8x + 4 = 0$-----(equation 2)
There are an infinite number of possible solutions for the equation system if two lines are in the same precise line if they share the same slope and y-intercept.
Rearranging equation (1) we get,
$y = 4x - 2$
Rearranging equation (2) we get,
$2y = 8x - 4$
$⇒y = 4x - 2$
From the above equation, we can see that both lines are the same.
So, there will be infinitely many solutions.
Hence, the correct answer is infinitely many.
