Consider the line y=7/3x-3 find the equation of the perpendicular line that passes through 9,-6 and the parallel line that passes through 9,-6

OpenStudy (stacey):

I assume you mean y=(7/3)x - 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (stacey):

Then the slope is 7/3. The slope of the parallel line will also be 7/3.

OpenStudy (stacey):

For the perpendicular line, the slope will be -3/7.

OpenStudy (stacey):

You can use the point-slope form to find the equations of the lines.
