Write an equation in slope-intercept form using y-y1=m(x-x1)?
The problem in 2x+3y=7; (4,5). I know you have to use the opposite reciprocal here but I'm just stuck.

First determine the slope,m
2x+3y=7
3y = -2x + 7
y = (-2/3)x + 7/3
m = -2/3
A parallel line has the same slope m = -2/3
Going through point (4, 5)
(y - 5) = (-2/3)(x - 4)
A perpendicular line has the NEGATIVE reciprocal slope , m = 3/2
Going thorough point (4, 5)
(y - 5) = (3/2)(x - 4)
