Criteria for Identical Linear Models

A logistics coordinator is auditing two different shipping cost models used by different branches of a company: y=2x3y = 2x - 3 and 6x+3y=9-6x + 3y = -9. To confirm that these two formulas represent the exact same cost line (meaning they are coincident), which two specific numerical properties of the linear equations must be identical? Additionally, what is the name of the standard algebraic form (e.g., y=mx+by = mx + b) most commonly used to identify and compare these two properties?
