Which of these graphs shows that the linear system 3x+2y=12 and 6x+4y=24 has an infinite number of solutions?(1 point)

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 passes through the points left parenthesis negative 6 comma 3 right parenthesis and left parenthesis negative 4 comma 0 right parenthesis. A dotted upward slanting line passes through the points left parenthesis 0 comma negative 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 4 right parenthesis.

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 4 comma 0 right parenthesis.

The correct graph is the first one described, with a solid downward slanting line passing through the points (-6, 3) and (-4, 0), and a dotted upward slanting line passing through the points (0, -6) and (6, 4). This graph shows that the linear system has an infinite number of solutions because the lines are coincident, meaning they overlap and intersect at every point.
