Can you help!!?

anonymous · Answer

parallel:
y=x+k
perpendicular:
y=-x+k

anonymous · Answer

here, k is any constant value

What I got so far is y = x - 1 with plot point of (2,0)

the formula my instructor gave me is 

Y = mx + b

 working from that 

I get 0 = -1(2) = b
then 0 = -2 = b 

and then 2 = b

which is the perpendicular line but I am having trouble fining the parallel line

If it is the negative recip would it be 

-2 = b for the parraellel then?
