Question 6: The line passing through is parallel to the line passing through . find .

Answer:

The slope of line passing through

The slope of line passing through

Since the two lines are parallel to each other, their slope must be equal. Therefore

Question 7: The line passing through is perpendicular to the line passing through . Find .

Answer:

The slope of line passing through

The slope of line passing through

Since the two lines are perpendiculare to each other, the product of their slopes should be equal to . Therefore
