im trying to find a parallel line and a perpendicular line

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

We know that the parallel line will have the same slope so the coefficients (numbers in front of the variables) will be the same, so we'll still have 2x+3y = (something) Plug in the values from the point to find out what the (something) is.
