| Question 634371:  I have two questions that I need help on! Thank You!!
 1. Find the slope-intercept form of the the line passing through the point (–3,–6) and parallel to the line y = -3x-4
 2. Write the standard form of the equation of the line passing through the point (–1, 2) and perpendicular to the line  x - 7y = – 21.
 THANK YOU

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. Find the slope-intercept form of the the line passing through the point (–3,–6) and parallel to the line y = -3x-4 2. Write the standard form of the equation of the line passing through the point (–1, 2) and perpendicular to the line  x - 7y = – 21.
 ans 1:
 the line is parallel to the line y = -3x-4 with slope =-3
 so the required slope of the line=-3
 & passes through (–3,–6)
 so the eqn is [y-(-6)]/[x-(-3)]=-3
 or y+6=-3x-9
 or y=-3x-15 ans
 ans 2:
 the line is perpendicular to the line  x - 7y = – 21 or y=x/7+3 with slope =1/7
 so the required slope of the line=-7
 & passes through (–1, 2)
 so the eqn is [y-2]/[x-(-1)]=-7
 or y-2=-7x-7
 or y=-7x-5 ans
