Answer

No, because having the same $x$-intercept and $y$-intercept would mean that the lines are the same )and therefore not distinct).

Work Step by Step

The two lines are distinct so there are two different lines. If two lines have same $x$-intercept and $y$-intercept, then are the same line. Thus, it is not possible for two distinct lines that have the same $y$-intercept to have the same $x$-intercept.
