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, 2) and parallel to 4x − 3y − 7 = 0 (2 points)

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

Answer:

Part A) [tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{14}{3}[/tex]

Part B) [tex]y=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

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

we have

[tex]4x-3y-7=0[/tex]

Isolate he variable y

[tex]3y=4x-7[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

The slope of the given line is

[tex]m=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Remember that

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are the same

therefore

The slope of the line parallel to the given line is also

[tex]m=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

we have

[tex]m=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]point\ (-2,2)[/tex]

substitute

[tex]2=\frac{4}{3}(-2)+b[/tex]

solve for b

[tex]b=2+\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

[tex]b=\frac{14}{3}[/tex]

therefore

[tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{14}{3}[/tex]

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

we have

[tex]4x-3y-7=0[/tex]

Isolate he variable y

[tex]3y=4x-7[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

The slope of the given line is

[tex]m=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is

[tex]m=-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

we have

[tex]m=-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]point\ (-2,2)[/tex]

substitute

[tex]2=-\frac{3}{4}(-2)+b[/tex]

solve for b

[tex]b=2-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]b=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

therefore

[tex]y=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
