9.) Write an equation of the line that passes through (-2,3) & is @parallel b) perpendicular to the line y=-4x+1

Answer 1

y = -4x+1 has slope -4
so do all parallel lines
perp. lines therefor have slope 1/4

Now use your point-slope form for the line:

parallel line is y-3 = -4(x+2)
change the slope to 1/4 for the perpendicular line.
