Algebraic Classification of Coincident Cost Models

An operations manager is reviewing two different supply chain cost models represented by the equations $3x - 2y = 4andandy = \frac{3}{2}x - 2$. Without using a graph, describe the algebraic process used to compare these two models. In your response, recall and state the resulting slope and y-intercept for both equations, identify the total number of solutions, and provide the formal mathematical classification for the system's consistency and dependency.
