Answer:
A. y=2x-9
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Parallel lines have the same slope. That means the line y=2x+3 has the same slope as any line parallel to it. So the slope is 2.
Using m=2, substitute it and (4,-1) into the point slope form and simplify to find the y-intercept.
B. Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other. The slope of the line y=2x+3 is 2. The slope perpendicular to it is -1/2.
Using m=-1/2, substitute it and (4,-1) into the point slope form and simplify to find the y-intercept.
