## Determine whether two lines would intersect on a Cartesian plane

Given two lines on a Cartesian plane, determine whether the two lines would intersect.

My initial thoughts:
On a Cartesian plane, if two lines do not intersect, they must be parallel with each other. Hence, their slopes must be the same. If their slopes are different, they would intersect. A line is represented as $ax+by+c=0$ on a Cartesian plane and the slope is given by $-\frac{a}{b}$. Therefore if $-\frac{a_{0}}{b_{0}} \neq -\frac{a_{1}}{b_{1}}$ for two lines, they will intersect.

Solution:

	public class Line {
static final double epsilon = 0.000001;
public double slope;
public double yintercept;

public Line(double s, double y) {
slope = s;
yintercept = y;
}

public boolean intersect(Line line2) {
return Math.abs(slope - line2.slope) > epsilon
|| Math.abs(yintercept - line2.yintercept) < epsilon;
}
}

Two lines can be the same. In that case, we assume they intersects (overlap).
We need to consider the floating system in a computer. Never use == to compare two floating numbers.
