Answer from: llamasking

The equation of the line parallel to the line is y = -4x + 10

The equation of the line perpendicular to the line is y = 1/4x +3/2

Using the point (1, 6) and (2, 2) on the line to get the slope:

Slope = 2-6/2-1

Slope = -4/1

Slope = -4

The equation in point slope form is expressed as y-y0 = m(x-x0)

Substitute a point and te given slope for the equation parallel to the line

y - 2 = -4(x-2)

y - 2 = -4x + 8

y+4x = 10

Hence the equation of the line parallel to the line is y = -4x + 10

For the line perpendicular, the required slope is 1/4

Substitute a point and te given slope for the equation parallel to the line

y - 2 = 1/4(x-2)

4(y - 2) = x - 2

4y - 8 =x -2

4y = x + 6

y = 1/4x + 3/2

Hence the line perpendicular to the line is y = 1/4x + 3/2

a. The equation of the parallel line to the given line is y = -4x + 19

b. The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes

If the slope of one of them is m, then the slope of the other is m

The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1

If the slope of one of them is m, then the slope of the other is $-\frac{1}{m}$ To find the slope of a perpendicular line to a given line reciprocal the slope of the given line and change its sign

The rule of the slope is m = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ , where

(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the points on the line

The form of the equation of a line is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope b is the y-intercept

Let us solve the question

∵ The given line passes through points (1, 6) and (2, 2)

∴ x1 = 1 and y1 = 6

∴ x2 = 2 and y2 = 2

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope to find it

∵ m = $\frac{2-6}{2-1}=\frac{-4}{1}=-4$

∴ The slope of the given line is -4

∵ The line is parallel to the given line

∴ Their slopes are equal

∵ The slope of the given line = -4

∴ The slope of the parallel line = -4

→ Substitute its value in the form of the equation above

∴ y = -4x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of any point on the line

∵ The parallel line passes through the point (4, 3)

∴ x = 4 and y = 3

∵ 3 = -4(4) + b

∴ 3 = -16 + b

→ Add 16 to both sides

∴ 3 + 16 = -16 + 16 + b

∴ 19 = b

→ Substitute it in the equation

∴ y = -4x + 19

The equation of the parallel line to the given line is y = -4x + 19

∵ The line is perpendicular to the given line

∴ The product of their slopes is -1

→ Reciprocal the slope of the given line and change its sign

∵ The slope of the given line = -4

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = $\frac{1}{4}$

→ Substitute its value in the form of the equation above

∴ y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of any point on the line

∵ The perpendicular line passes through the point (4, 3)

∴ x = 4 and y = 3

∵ 3 = $\frac{1}{4}$ (4) + b

∴ 3 = 1 + b

→ Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 3 - 1 = 1 - 1 + b

∴ 2 = b

→ Substitute it in the equation

∴ y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + 2

The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + 2
