Reference equation given, . Slope is .
A line in the plane parallel also has slope ; and a line in the plane perpendicular to the reference line has slope negative reciprocal, which is .

The parallel line through the given point (-2,-5) is which is written in point-slope form.

The perpendicular line through the given point is , again being in point-slope form.

Starting those in point-slope form was easier than arranging for slope-intercept form. Use your algebra skill to put each of them into standard form.
