Answer:

Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes

Perpendicular slope have a product = - 1

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange both equations into this form and compare slopes

2x - y = - 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- y = - 2x - 1 ( multiply through by - 1 )

y = 2x + 1 ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = 2

4x - 2y = 6 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

- 2y = - 4x + 6 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = 2x - 3 ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = 2

both equations have the same slope, therefore they are parallel

tatuchka [14]

You must know that % is a number out of 100.

Therefore given 91/100 trusted DNA surveying, we know as a percentage this is 91% from the equation below:

(91/100)*100=91

We can conclude that 1%=1 person.

Although the difference is only 1 (91-90=1), the actual proportion of people who trust DNA testing is larger than the 90% by 1%.
