the equations that are parallel and perpendicular to y = 2x - 1 and that pass through the point (4, 1)

Question

anonymous · Answer

perpendicular means negative inverse of slope, since initial slope is 2, the slope of the perpendicular is -1/2

so the equation you are generating will be 

y=-1/2*x+b

1=-1/2*4+b

1=-2+b

b=3

y=-1/2*x+3

anonymous · Answer

the parallel has the same slope, so

y=2*x+b

1=2*4+b

1=8+b

-7=b

y=2*x-7
