Can you work this problem out? I already know the right answer I just need to see how it was solved;; What is the relationship between the lines determined by the following two equations?

6x – 2y = 16
y = 3x – 8

The answer is 'they are the same line' I just need to know how they got that answer.

Lines are the same exact line if they are identical. REarrange the first equation into the most simpllified slope-intercept form
6x - 2y = 16
-2y = -6x + 16
y = 3x - 8

Notice how this is now identical to the second equation.
