Question 605206: Consider the equation 3x+5y=6 a) Give the equation of a line parallel to the above line.
b) Give the equation of a line perpendicular to the above line. Answer by mananth(16949) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x+5y=6
5y= -3x+6
/5
y=(-3/5)x+(6/5)
The slopes of parallel lines are same. m= (-3/5)
Since no point is given we may say that the parallel line will have an equation
y=(-3/5)x+c
The perpendicular line will have a slope of (5/3)
The equation will be y= (5/3)x+c
