Algebra.Com's Answer #700071 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! parallel has same slope \n" ); document.write( "use point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1), m slope, (x1,y1) point \n" ); document.write( "y+3=(2/3)(x-6), watch the sign \n" ); document.write( "y=(2/3(x)-7 \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slope, so negative reciprocal os 2/3 is -3/2 \n" ); document.write( "y+3=(-3/2)(x-6) \n" ); document.write( "y+3=-(3/2)x+9 \n" ); document.write( "y=(-3/2)x-12 \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The line going through (0,2) is the line given. \n" ); document.write( " |
