1

In slope intercept form, find the equation of the line parallel to and goes through the point .

Explanation

First step is to recall slope intercept form.

Where is the slope, and is a point on the line.

Since we want a line that is parallel, our slope () is going to be the same as the original equation.

So

Then we substitute 7 for and 5 for

After plugging them in, we get.

Now we solve for

2

In slope intercept form, find the equation of the line perpendicular to and goes through the point .

Explanation

First step is to recall slope intercept form.

Where is the slope, and is a point on the line.

Since we want a line that is perpendicular, our slope () is going to be the negative reciprocal of the original equation.

So

Then we substitute 7 for and -5 for

After plugging them in, we get.

Now we solve for

3

In slope intercept form, find the equation of the line perpendicular to and goes through the point .

Explanation

First step is to recall slope intercept form.

Where is the slope, and is a point on the line.

Since we want a line that is perpendicular, our slope () is going to be the negative reciprocal of the original equation.

So

Then we substitute 1 for and -2 for

After plugging them in, we get.

Now we solve for
