Without graphing, explain why this system of equations would result in a special case. Please be detailed in your explanation: 

y = -3x + 2

y = -3x - 5

These lines are parallel since they have the same slope and different y-intercepts. If the lines do not intersect, which is the case with parallel lines, there will be no solution.
