How do you solve the system of equations #y= 2x - 7# and #y = 2x - \frac { 8} { 9}#?

There are no possible solutions to this system of equations.
(The equations represent parallel lines with no intersection point).

Explanation:

If
#color(white)("XXX")y=2x-7#
and
#color(white)("XXX")y=2x-8/9#
then
#color(white)("XXX")2x-7=2x-8/9#
and
#color(white)("XXX")-7=-8/9#

...but obviously this is not true.
