Consider the following. Point Line (−6, 7) , x + 2 = 0 (a) Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point and parallel to the given line. (b) Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point and perpendicular to the given line.

step-by-step explanation: 4 cause 2+2=4

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
