A) In order to find this, we must first solve the initial equation for y to get the slope.
-x + 3y = 6
3y = x + 6
y = 1/3x + 2
Now we know the slope to be 1/3 since parallel lines have the same slope. So we take this slope and the point and use point-slope form to find the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = 1/3(x - 3)
y - 5 = 1/3x - 1
y = 1/3x + 4
B) To find this line, we again have to find the slope of the initial equation by solving for y.
2x + y = -4
y = -2x - 4
Now we know our new slope to be 1/2. This is because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. We can use this and the point to solve in the same way.
