Find a line that is parallel and perpendicular to y 3x 10
Solution
Parallel lines have same slope
Perpendicular lines have negative slope and their slopes are reciprocal to each other.
Therefore given line is y=-3x + 1
Comparing it with standard equation y=mx+c
Where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.
We can say that the slope of the given line is m=-3
Therefore slope of line parallel to the given line will also be m=-3, since this line passes through (0,12) hence y intercept i.e c is 12 because y intercept is the point where x is 0.
Hence equation of line will be y=-3x+12
Similarly equation of line perpendicular to the given line will have slope m = -1/(-3) = 1/3 with y intercept c =12
Therefore equation of line perpendicular to given line is
y=(1/3)x + 12.
