Answer:
y=5x-15, y=-1/5x-23/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope, so we know the line that is parallel to y=5x-3 must have slope 5.
We now have y=5x+b. We are given the point (2, -5) so substitute the x and y coordinates into the equation.
y=5x+b
-5=5(2)+b
-5=10+b
b=-15
So the equation of the parallel line is y=5x-15.
Perpendicular lines must have slopes that multiply to -1, so we know the line perpendicular to y=5x-3 must have slope -1/5.
We now have y=-1/5x+b. We are given the point (2, -5) so substitute the x and y coordinates into the equation.
y=-1/5x+b
-5=-1/5(2)+b
-5=-2/5+b
b=-23/5
So the equation of the perpendicular line is y=-1/5x-23/5.
