Explanation:

A)

Paralle mean the same slope so 2/3 is the slope

Y+2=2/3(x-6)

Y+2=2/3x-4

Y=2/3x-6

B)

Perpendicular means that we flip the slope and change sign if it +or - so the slope will be -3/2

Y-1=-3/2(x-8)

Y-1=-3/2x+12

Y=-3/2x+13

Answer:

A. y=2/3x-6

B. y=-3/2x+13

Explanation:

If the line is parallel, then they have the same slope.

-2=2/3(6)+b

-2=4+b

-6=b

y=2/3x-6

If the line is perpendicular, then the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

1=-3/2(8)-b

1=-12=b

13=b

y=-3/2x+13
