Use what you know about the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines to find the equation of each line described below.
Find the equation of the line that goes through the point
and is perpendicular to the line .
Recall that perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.
Use the perpendicular slope and the given point in the equation
to solve for .
Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line
and goes through the point .
Rewrite the equation in
