Perpendicular, the slope is negative reciprocal of the described and \"shown\"\" line. Parallel, the slope is equal to the described and \"shown\" line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "According to the description, for your two points
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-2=%28%282-6%29%2F%282-1%29%29%28x-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-2=-4%28x-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-4x%2B8%2B2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-4x%2B10\"------which should be the line with the two described points.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "BUT pass through (4,3) and parallel to that given line?
\n" ); document.write( "\"3=-4%2A4%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3=-16%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=19\"
\n" ); document.write( "So equation for this parallel line should be \"y=-4x%2B19\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pass through (4,3) but perpendicular to given line?
\n" ); document.write( "\"3=%281%2F4%29%2A4%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "So equation for this perpendicular line should be \"y=%281%2F4%29x%2B2\".\r
