a.
Calculate the slope − intercept forms of the equations of the lines through the given points which are parallel to the given line.
a.
Answer to Problem 73E
The slope intercept form for the parallel line is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
It is given in the question that the coordinates and equation are
Concept Used:
In this , use the concept that the slope intercept form is
Calculation: The equation is
This means there is a vertical line that crosses the point
Remember all vertical lines have an undefined slope.So a line parallel to
The parallel line will be :
Conclusion:
The equation is
b.
Calculate the slope − intercept forms of the equations of the lines through the given points which are perpendicular to the given line.
b.
Answer to Problem 73E
The slope intercept form for the perpendicular line is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
It is given in the question that the coordinates and equation are
Concept Used:
In this , use the concept that the slope intercept form is
Calculation: The equation is
Remember any x − line is vertical ,so a perpendicular line is a horizontal line that has a slope of
Now,the perpendicular line will be
Conclusion:
The equation is
