Answer:

Explanation is written below.

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                1)

Given the line

[tex]y = -4x + 8[/tex]

Comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]    

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So, the slope of the line = m = -4

  • We know that the parallel lines have equal slopes.

Thus, the equation of the line that is parallel to y = -4x + 8 and passes through the point (5, 1), using point slope form

[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]  

Here, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting the values m = -4 and the point (5, 1)

[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]

y-1 = -4 (x - 5)

y-1 = -4x+20

y = -4x+20+1

y = -4x + 21

                                                    2)

Given the equation

[tex]y = -4x + 8[/tex]

Comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]    

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So, the slope of the line = m = -4

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line, so

The slope of the perpendicular line will be: 1/4

Thus, an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -4x + 8 and passes through the point (5,1), using point slope form

[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]  

Here, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting the values m = 1/4 and the point (5, 1)

[tex]y-1\:=\:\frac{1}{4}\:\left(x\:-\:5\right)[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides

[tex]y-1+1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x-5\right)+1[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
