Answer:

case a) y=1/3x+8

case b) y=-3x+28

Explanation:

case a)

parallel lines has the same slope, then, the searched line has the form:


y=(1)/(3) x +b

Now, in order to find b, we must use the given point (6,10). By substituying this point into the last equation, one has


10=(1)/(3) 6+b\\10=(6)/(3) +b\\10=2+b\\b=10-2\\b=8

Then, the line equation is y=1/3x+8

case b)

the slope of a perpendicular line is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line, that is


m=-(1)/((1)/(3) ) \\m=-3

Hence, the searched line has the form y=-3x + b. Now, in order to find the y-intercept b, we must use the given point (6,10). Therefore,


10=-3(6)+b\\10=-18+b\\b=10+18\\b=28

Hence, the searced equation is y=-3x+28
