----------------------------------------------
Consider the line y = -5x + 4.
---------------------------------------------
(a) Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (6, 2).
---------------------------------------------
(b) Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (6, 2).
---------------------------------------------


(a)
Slope stays the same for parallel.
2=-5%2A6%2Bb
b=30
-
y=-5x%2B30


(b)
Slope now becomes 1%2F5.
2=6%2F5%2Bb
