Answer

No solution (the solution set is $\emptyset$.)

Work Step by Step

Graph each line (plot two points per line, such as the intercepts) $x-y=2:\quad \left[\begin{array}{lll} x=0 & ... & y=0\\ 0-y=2 & & x-0=2 \\ y=-2 & & x=2\\ (0,-2) & & (2,0) \end{array}\right]$ $3x-3y=-6:\quad \left[\begin{array}{lll} x=0 & ... & y=0\\ 0-3y=-6 & & 3x-0=-6\\ y=2 & & x=-2\\ (0,2) & & (-2,0) \end{array}\right]$ There are no intersection points, the lines are parallel, the solution set is $\emptyset$.
