Step1: Substitute y into second equation
Substitute $y=-2x-1$ into $-6x-3y=3$:
$$-6x - 3(-2x - 1) = 3$$
Step2: Expand and simplify left side
Distribute and combine like terms:
$$-6x + 6x + 3 = 3$$
$$3 = 3$$
Step3: Interpret the result
The equation is always true, meaning there are infinitely many solutions, where all points follow $y=-2x-1$.
