Question 821410
PARALLEL							
							
							
y  	=	-1    	x	+	3	
Divide by	1						
	y  	=	-1    	x	+	3    	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	-1    						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
The slope of the required line will be			-1    				
m=	-1    	,point	(	-2      	,	-2	)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
-2	=	2      	+	b			
b=	-4						
m=	-1    						
Plug value of  the slope  and b					in y = mx +b		
The required equation is		y  	=	-    	x		-4  



    
Perpendicular 

	y  	=	-  2/ 3	x	+	2    				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b,					m= slope & b= y intercept					
slope m =	- 2/3									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										3/2
Because m1*m2 =-1										
The slope of the required line will be			3/2							
										
m=	3/2	,point	(	9	,	-3	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
-3	=	27/ 2	+	b						
b=	-33/2									
m=	3/2									
The required equation is		y  	=	 3/ 2	x	+	-33/ 2
