Question 468652: The line: y = 0.14x + 0.77 represents an estimate of the average cost of gasoline for each year. The line 0.11x - y = -0.85 estimates the price of gasoline in January of each year.
Use the equations of the lines to determine if they are parallel. What did you find?
Explain why you would expect the two lines to be intersecting, parallel, or perpendicular (chooseone)?

y=0.14x+0.77
y=0.11x+0.85
Different slope, no parallel or perpendicular
but will intersect
