Answer:

Parallel line,
y=(3x)/(2) -(5)/(2)

Perpendicular line,
y=4-(2x)/(3)

Explanation:

For the parallel line, In the equation y=mx+c, we are trying to find c.

We know that m=
(3)/(2), so

we have the equation y=
(3x)/(2) +c

So we substitute the points we are given (3,2) into


2=(3)/(2)*3+c\\Thus, c= (-5)/(2)

The final equation we get is


y=(3x)/(2) -(5)/(2)

For the perpendicular line, we need to find the inverse of the slope.

The inverse of the slope
(3)/(2) = -(2)/(3)

So, we use this in our formula and also plug in the same coordinates we were given.

Therefore, we get:


2= -(2)/(3)*3+a\\a=4\\\\y=4-(2x)/(3)
