Write a linear two-variable equation for a line that is parallel or perpendicular to a given line and goes through a given point.
Clarifications
Clarification 1: Instruction focuses on recognizing that perpendicular lines have slopes that when multiplied result in -1 and that parallel lines have slopes that are the same.Clarification 2: Instruction includes representing a line with a pair of points on the coordinate plane or with an equation.
Clarification 3: Problems include cases where one variable has a coefficient of zero.
