Show all work to write the equations of the lines, representing the following conditions, in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept:

Part A: Passes through (-2, 1) and parallel to 4x - 3y - 7 = 0

Part B: Passes through (-2, 1) and perpendicular to 4x - 3y - 7 = 0

    4x - 3y - 7 = 0

    -3y = - 4x + 7

    y = 4/3x - 7/3 ... slope here is 4/3

    A. a parallel line will have the same slope

    y = mx + b

    slope (m) = 4/3

    (-2,1) ... x = - 2 and y = 1

    sub and find b, the y int

    1 = 4/3 (-2) + b

    1 = - 8/3 + b

    1 + 8/3 = b

    3/3 + 8/3 = b

    11/3 = b

    so ur parallel line is : y = 4/3x + 11/3

    B. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To get the negative reciprocal of a number, u flip the number and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will need a slope of - 3/4

    y = mx + b

    slope (m) = - 3/4

    (-2,1) ... x = - 2 and y = 1

    sub and find b, the y int

    1 = - 3/4 (-2) + b

    1 = 3/2 + b

    1 - 3/2 = b

    2/2 - 3/2 = b

    -1/2 = b

    so ur perpendicular equation is : y = - 3/4x - 1/2
