The slope - intercept form of the equation of a line is
.
(a)
\The equation of line is
and point is
.
The line equation is
.
Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
\
.
Compare the above equation with slope - intercept form.
\Slope
.
Since the slopes of the parallel lines are equal, slope of the required line is
.
The line is passing through the point
with a slope of
. \ \
The point - slope form of the line equation is
.
Substitute the values of
and
in point - slope form. \ \

. \ \
The required line is
.
(b)
\Since the slopes of the perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, slope of the required line is
. \ \
The point - slope form of the equation of a line is
