Given:....(2,0),\"y=-5x%2B3\"..
\n" ); document.write( "a)We know if it's parallel to the given Line \"y=-5x%2B3\", they do have the same \"slope=m=-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, thru points (2,0):
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=-5%2A2%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=10\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the eqn is ----->\"highlight%28y=-5x%2B10%29\", Answer
\n" ); document.write( "As we see inthe graph;
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "---> RED>>>> \"y=-5x%2B3\"; GREEN>>>>\"y=-5x%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( "b) Now it;s perpendicular:\"m%5B2%5D=-1%2Fm%5B1%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"m%5B2%5D=-1%2F%28-5%29=1%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then, thru points (2,0)
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=%281%2F5%292%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-2%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then eqn ----------->\"highlight%28y=%281%2F5%29x-%282%2F5%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "As we see the graph:
\n" ); document.write( " --->RED, \"y=-5x%2B3\"; GREEN, \"%281%2F5%29x-%282%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Thank you,
