You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can work entirely in slope-intercept form as the equations you are given.
y=mx%2Bb
y-mx=b
b=y-mx for any point (x,y).

For parallel, as question #1, keep same slope, 3.
For perpendicular, as question #2, take the negative reciprocal of slope, meaning -1%2F2.
