y=-3/4x-1; (12, 5)- use this same equation to find parallel and perpendicular?
\n" ); document.write( "steps in writing the equation of a line parallel to the given line and passing through the given points
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "The given line has slope = -3/4
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Form of the parallel line:: y = mx + b, where m = -3/4, x = 12, y = 5::
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\"::
\n" ); document.write( "5 = (-3/4)12 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 5 + 9 = 14
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: y = (-3/4)x + 14
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "what is the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line and passing through the given points
\n" ); document.write( "slope of all perpendicular lines must be 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "Form:: y = mx + b where m = 4/3 ; x = 12 ; y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\"::
\n" ); document.write( "5 = (3/4)12 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 5 -9 = -4
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: y = (3/4)x -4
