Interpreting Algebraic Identities in Budget Analysis

A financial analyst is comparing two different department budget models represented by the equations 4x−3y=64x - 3y = 6 and 15y−20x=−3015y - 20x = -30. While performing a substitution to find the intersection, the analyst eliminates all variables and arrives at the true statement 0=00 = 0. State the specific mathematical term used to describe these equations and describe what this result implies about how the two equations would appear if plotted on a coordinate graph.
