Point-Slope Form for Equation of a Line:
y-v=m%28x-u%29 has slope m and goes through point (u,v).

Two parallel lines in the plane have the same slope, m.

Two perpendicular lines in the plane have slopes that m%2Am%5Bp%5D=-1.



Your parallel line question
y-0=%283%2F4%29x-4
Simplify this and put into whatever form you want.

Your perpendicular line question
y-1=-1%28x-%28-7%29%29
