Question 266779: Write a slope-intercept equation for a line passing through the given point that is parallel to the given line. Then write a second equation for a line passing through the given point that is perpendicular to the given line.
(1,-2); 8x=5y-4

step 1 - solve the equation for y. we get

add 4 to get

divide by 5 to get

---
step 2 - determine parallel and perpendicular slopes.
parallel slope = m = (8/5)
perpendicular slope = m = (-5/8)
---
step 3 - line passing through (1,-2) with slope = m = (8/5)




---
step 4 - line passing through (1,-2) with slope = m = -(5/8)
