Given line is y=-2, a horizontal line, slope 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Starting in point slope form,
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel, containing required (-4,1),
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-1=0%2A%28x%2B4%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-1=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=1\", which you could find without using any algebra. This would be the same as saying for standard form, \"0%2Ax%2By=1.\".\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The perpendicular line containing (-4,1)?
\n" ); document.write( "No slope for this line. Vertical line! (Also, no vertical axis intercept.)
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
