You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve for y in 0.11x-y=-0.85 to get y = 0.11x+0.85\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we can see the slope of y = 0.11x+0.85 is 0.11\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The slope of y=0.15x+0.79 is 0.15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since this is NOT equal to 0.11, this means that the two lines are NOT parallel.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, because the two slopes both have the same sign (ie both are positive), they are also NOT perpendicular.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the two lines are intersecting lines.\r
