Problem 1:
\n" ); document.write( "The first thing you need to do is solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B2x=-14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-2x-14\"
\n" ); document.write( "next you need need to make a new equation that is perpendicular.
\n" ); document.write( "To make an equation perpendicular, you take the slope \"-2\" and inverse it and multiply it by a -1.
\n" ); document.write( "The perpendicular slope is \"1%2F2\".
\n" ); document.write( "your new equation is
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%281%2F2%29x%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "to find b, plug in the point they gave you. (-4,3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"3=%281%2F2%29%28-4%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3=-2%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%281%2F2%29x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Problem 2:
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B2x=-16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-2x-16\"
\n" ); document.write( "parallel equations have the same slope.
\n" ); document.write( "so your new equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-2x%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "plug in the point they gave you to find b. (-8,4)
\n" ); document.write( "\"4=-2%28-8%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4=16%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-12=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "Your answer is \"y=-2x-12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
