1.  perpendicular means that the slopes are negative reciprocals __ slope=-2/5


using point-slope __ y-(-5)=(-2/5)(x-2) __ y+5=(-2/5)x+(4/5)
__ solving for y (slope-intercept) __ y=(-2/5)x-(21/5)



2.  parallel means same slope __ slope=2/3


using point-slope __ y-(-5)=(2/3)(x-2) __ y+5=(2/3)x-(4/3)
__ solving for y (slope-intercept) __ y=(2/3)x-(19/3)</PRE>
