You can put this solution on YOUR website!
parallel lines have the same slope but different intercepts, since they are not specifying the intercept, we can choose our own:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+y=8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular lines will have a slope that is the reciprocal inverse:
\n" ); document.write( "-1/3x+y=4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
