This week I am to find the equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular to given lines that pass through specific point. The given equation y=12 x+3 The parallel line must pass through point (-2‚ 1) Parallel lines share the same slope so the slope of the new line will be12. Because I have an ordered pair and the slope‚ I can use point-slope to find the new equation Y-y1=m(x-x1)
