Question

Write a slope-intercept equation for a line passing through the point (5,-5) that is parallel to the line x = -2. Then write a second equation for a line passing through the point (5,-5) that is perpendicular to the line x=-2.

Answer 1

1. y=-2x+5

2. y=1/2x-7.5

Explanation:

you plug in the cordinates for the y intercept and you already have the slope.

y=mx+b

m= slope which is -2
