    12.) y = - 5x + 3

    Slope = - 5

    The slope of a parallel line will have the same slope as the original line, so

    m = - 5

    x = 2

    y = 0

    b = y - mx:

    b = 0 - [- 5(2)]

    b = - (- 10)

    b = 10

    Equation of Line:

    y = - 5x + 10

    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

    13.) y = - x - 4

    m = - 1

    x = - 1

    y = 4

    b = 4 - [- 1(- 1)]

    b = 4 - 1

    b = 3

    Equation of Line:

    y = - x + 3

    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

    14.) y = ¼ x + 2

    m = ¼

    x = 4

    y = - 9

    b = - 9 - ¼ (4)

    b = - 9 - 1

    b = - 10

    Equation of Line:

    y = ¼ x - 10

    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

    Given line : y = -5x + 3 ............................................ [1]

    a.)

    A line parallel to [1] and passin to point(2, 0) is : y = -5(x-2),

    OR,

    y = -5x + 10 >=======================================< ANSWER

    b.)

    A line Perpendicular to [1] and having point(2, 0) is : y = (1/5)(x-2),

    OR,

    y = x/5 - 2/5 = 0.2x - 0.4 >================================< ANSWER

    Similarly Solve the Left-overs ..........................
