: In each case determine whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
1)y=3x+2
y=1/3x-4
2)Point-Slope form
Write equation in slope-intercept form
x-y=1

3)Find the equation of the line that goes through the given point and has the given slope. Write in slope-intercept form.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1. The lines are perpendicular, because the slope of two perpendicular lines is the negative reciprocal.
2. Slope intercept form is y=mx + b, so you need to solve for y. Therefore,
y=x - 1
3. To find the equation of a line using one set of points and the slope, use the following formula: y-y^1=m(x-x^1)
With this problem, that equation would become:
y - 6= 1/2(x - 4) which would become:
y - 6= 1/2x - 2 and then
y = 1/2x + 4
Hope this helps! Good luck! Sandy :-)
