So to have a line parallel the equation is: m1 = m2, meaning the slope (represented by m in this equation) is equal. So in the equation. 3y = - 2x + 4 you need to simplify the equation by dividing both sides by 3. Which would be like so: y = - 2/3x + 4/3, which the slope will be -2/3.

To be perpindicular you need the slope to be: m1 * m2 = - 1. So because we already know that the slope is -2/3, all we need to do is set up an equation: -2/3 * y = - 1

-2/3y = - 1

multiply both sides by 3/-2

y = 3/2

1 · 2 = 2
2 · 4 = 8
8 · 6 = 48
48 · 8 = 384
384 · 10 = 3840
3840 · 12 = 46080
46080 · 14 = 645120
