write the slope - intercept forms of the equations of the lines through the given point (a) parallel to the given line (b) perpendicular. the point is ( -3,2) the line is x + y = 7

Question

write the slope - intercept forms of the equations of the lines through the given point (a) parallel to the given line (b) perpendicular. the point is  ( -3,2) the line is x + y = 7

luigi0210 · Answer

Well get the line in slope intercept form first

anonymous · Answer

do you just plug in the points

luigi0210 · Answer

Well it says to write equations correct?

anonymous · Answer

how would I plug it in when I did that it looked like this 2 = -3 + 7

luigi0210 · Answer

No, we're not plugging anything in.. we're looking for equations

anonymous · Answer

can you show me how I would do this

thanks

luigi0210 · Answer

Parallel lines have the same slope, perpendicular lines have a slope that is the negative reciprocal
