SOLUTION: 6. Our equation y = 2.09x + 15.50 represents our charge for hats. An estimate from a competing company, Lotsa Hats, was -2.09x + y = 13.30. A. Do you expect these lines to b

Question 474909: 6. Our equation y = 2.09x + 15.50 represents our charge for hats. An estimate from a competing company, Lotsa Hats, was -2.09x + y = 13.30.
A. Do you expect these lines to be parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting? Why?
B. Use the equations to determine if the lines are parallel. Are they? Why or why not?

y = 2.09x + 15.50 ...........1
-2.09x + y = 13.30.
rewrite this equation
y=2.09x+13.30............2
Equation (1) & (2) are having same slope of 2.09
Hence they will be parallel lines
