Problema Solution
The line y=0.16x+1.22 represents an estimate of the average cost of gasoline for each year. The line 0.14x-y=-1.30 estimates the price of gasoline in January of each year (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010). Will the lines intersect, be parallel or perpendicular?
Answer provided by our tutors
y=0.16x+1.22
0.14x-y=-1.30 --> y = 0.14x+1.30
The slope is not equal, and product is not equal to -1
So the lines intersect
