Analyzing Identical Shipping Cost Models

Suppose you are a junior operations analyst at a logistics firm. You are comparing two different linear equations used to calculate monthly shipping costs based on distance. After reviewing the graphs, you determine that the lines are 'coincident.' Write a short memo for your supervisor defining what it means for two lines to be coincident. In your explanation, be sure to define the relationship between the slopes and y-intercepts of the two lines and state the number of shared solutions (points of intersection) they have.
