Work the algebra to get the equation into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.
\n" ); document.write( "-3x -5y = -25
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Add 3x to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-5y = 3x -25
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -5.
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/5x + 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Slope is -3/5 so any line with slope -3/5 will be parallel.
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3/5x for example.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Any perpendicular will have negative inverse slope: 5/3.
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5/3x for example
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The following graph illustrates:
\n" ); document.write( "red line: y=-3/5x+5
\n" ); document.write( "green line: y=-3/5x
\n" ); document.write( "blue line: y = 5/3x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
