Question

Write an equation (y = mx + b) for the line that passes through B(-1, 3) and is:

a) parallel to the line y = -7/3(x) - 3

b) perpendicular to the line y = -7/3(x) - 3

Answer 1

Mark's comment is correct.

An additional hint.

The slope of a line parallel to the given line is the same as the slope of the given line.

The slope of a line perpendicular to a given line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
