Classifying Non-Intersecting Growth Models

A data analyst is comparing two linear growth models represented by the equations y=3xβˆ’1y = 3x - 1 and $6x - 2y = 12$. After determining that the lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, the analyst concludes they are parallel and will never intersect. What is the specific algebraic term used to classify a system of equations that has no solution?
