The condition
- all three ratios agree, so one equation is a multiple of the other.
Fast test
Divide the first coefficients for the multiplier, then check it carries the other two terms. Failing on the constant alone means parallel.
In a system
Infinitely many solutions means coincident: the second equation adds no information, so no unique point can be found.
