Example 3A: Classifying Pairs of Lines Determine whether the lines are parallel, intersect, or coincide. y = 3x + 7, y = –3x – 4 The lines have different slopes, so they intersect.

Example 3B: Classifying Pairs of Lines Determine whether the lines are parallel, intersect, or coincide. Solve the second equation for y to find the slope-intercept form. 6y = –2x + 12 Both lines have a slope of , and the y-intercepts are different. So the lines are parallel.

Solve both equations for y to find the slope-intercept form. 3x + 5y = 2 3x + 6 = –5y 5y = –3x + 2 Both lines have the same slopes but different y-intercepts, so the lines are parallel.

Example 4: Problem-Solving Application Erica is trying to decide between two car rental plans. For how many miles will the plans cost the same?

Understand the Problem 1 Understand the Problem The answer is the number of miles for which the costs of the two plans would be the same. Plan A costs $100.00 for the initial fee and $0.35 per mile. Plan B costs $85.00 for the initial fee and $0.50 per mile.

2 Make a Plan Write an equation for each plan, and then graph the equations. The solution is the intersection of the two lines. Find the intersection by solving the system of equations.

Solve 3 Plan A: y = 0.35x + 100 Plan B: y = 0.50x + 85 Subtract the second equation from the first. 0 = –0.15x + 15 x = 100 Solve for x. Substitute 100 for x in the first equation. y = 0.50(100) + 85 = 135

Solve Continued 3 The lines cross at (100, 135). Both plans cost $135 for 100 miles.

Look Back 4 Check your answer for each plan in the original problem. For 100 miles, Plan A costs $100.00 + $0.35(100) = $100 + $35 = $135.00. Plan B costs $85.00 + $0.50(100) = $85 + $50 = $135, so the plans cost the same.
