Two farmers use combines to harvest corn from their fields. One farmer has 600 acres of corn, and the other has 1000 acres of corn. Each former's combine can harvest 100 acres per day. Write two equations for the number of acres y of corn not harvested after x days. Are the graphs of the equations parallel, perpendicular, or neither? How do you know?
