parallel lines, have the same exact slope, hmmm what is the slope of y = -2/3 x + 1/3 anyway? well, low and behold, the equation is already in slope-intercept form, therefore
has a slope of -2/3.
so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2/3 and runs through 9,4.

The first answer is going to be 15.42 (so b) and the second is going to be 10.67 (so a)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Slope-intercept </u><u>form</u>
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
Line p: y= -8x +6
slope= -8
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. Let the slope of line q be m.
m(-8)= -1
m= -1 ÷(-8)
m= ⅛
Substitute m= ⅛ into the equation:
y= ⅛x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation.
When x= 2, y= -2,
-2= ⅛(2) +c



Thus, the equation of line q is
.
