Answer:

Parallel: y=-4x-1

Perpendicular: y=-4x+13/2

Explanation:

For the equation y=-4x-41, the slope is -4. Writing a line related to this equation has two options:

  • If the line will be parallel to it then this is the slope of the new line as well. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.

(y-7)=-4(x--2)


y-7=-4x-8


y=-4x-1

  • If the line will be perpendicular to it then the slope is the negative reciprocal of the previous slope. It is 1/4.

(y-7)=1/4(x--2)


y-7=1/4x-1/2


y=-4x+13/2
