There's no such thing as parallel or perpendicular "to a point".  A problem like that
will always want the new line to be parallel or perpendicular to another <em><u>line</u></em>.

-- If the new line is parallel to the given line, then they have the <em><u>same</u></em> slope.

-- If the new line is perpendicular to the the given line, then the slope of the
new line is [ <em><u>1 / slope of the given line</u></em> ].

In either case, you now have the slope of the new line and a point on it. 
From there, you should have no trouble finding its equation.

Parallel is same slope.
Perpendicular is same slope but you have make it opposite and flip it.
For example if your slope is 2/3. For Perpendicular it would be - 3/2.

What is the perimeter and area for the glowing figure?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Area=15

Perimeter=16

Step-by-step explanation:

First, section the shape off by easier work with shapes.

The two end triangles can then form one large rectangle that is 5in. x 3in.

Next just multiply the length times the width for the area which is 15 in., and add all of the sides up, which will give you 16 in.

How do u solve this equation
galina1969 [7]
Hi

So first off, you don't want a negative 6/5y

So you move it to the other side to make it positive, now your equation is

24=6/5y

Now divide both sides by 6/5 to get y by itself

y=20

Hope this helps
