Solution

$- 2 x - 3 y = 1$ and $6 y + 4 x = - 2$
Here, $a_{1} = - 2, b_{1} = - 3, c_{1} = - 1$ and
$a_{2} = 4, b_{2} = 6, c_{2} = 2$
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{- 2}{4} = \frac{- 1}{2}, \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{- 3}{6} = \frac{- 1}{2}$ and $\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} = \frac{1}{- 2}$
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$
So, the given system of linear equations represent coincident lines.
