Make slope intercept
3x - y = 5
3x = y + 5
y = 3x - 5
Parallel = same slope
Slope = 3
Y = 3x + b
Plug in the point
-2 = 3(-1) + b
-2 = -3 + b, b = 1

Solution: y = 3x + 1

Answer:

1 and - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope ( gradient ) )

y = x ← is in this form

with gradient m = 1

Parallel lines have equal gradients

Then the gradients of lines parallel to the given line is 1

Given a line with gradient m then the gradient of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{1}$ = - 1

Then the gradients of lines perpendicular to this line is - 1
