The slope of the given line is
The slope of the perpendicular line is
The equation of the line
Since line passes through the point (2,-6), substitute into the formula ,

the equation of the line that is perpendicular to line
.
The slope of the parallel line is
The equation of the line
Since line passes through the point (2,-6), substitute into the formula ,

the equation of the line that is parallel to line
