Solve the first equation for y to compare it to the second equation because the second equation is in terms of y. [tex] \frac{y-8}{x-1} =2 \\
y-8=2(x-1) \\
y-8=2x-2 \\
y=2x+6[/tex]
Since the first equation simplifies and is the same as the second equation, they are identical equations and their lines when graphed will also be identical.
