--------------
slope-intercept equation for a line passing through the point (4,2) that is parallel to the line 4x+7y=9.

---------------
Then write a second equation for a line passing through the point(4,-2) that is perpendicular to the line 4x+7y=9
----------------



Ax%2BBy=C, a form of linear equation
Parallel line is Ax+By=K for some real K, K%3C%3EC

Perpendicular line is Bx-Ay=P for some real P, P%3C%3EC, P%3C%3EK

In either case, if line must pass through some point (h,v), then just substitute h and v to find the right member constant K or P.
