Question 1098412: Write the equation of a line parallel to the given line and passing through the given point. y = -x + 7; (-7,-1)
Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line and passing through the given point. y = -x + 7; (-7,-1) Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1), m slope, (x1, y1) point
parallel is y+1=-1(x+7), watch the signs carefully
y+1=-x-7
y=-x-8
==========================
perpendicular has negative reciprocal of slope, which would be +1
y+1=(x+7)
y=x+6
