(a) The slope of L2 should be the same as that of L1, since L2 is parallel to L1, so m(L2) = 3, use point slope formula to get the equation of L2, y - 2 = 3(x + 1) y = 3x +5 (b) The slope of L3 should be -1/3 (negative reciprocal of the slope of L1). Apply the point slope formula, y - 2 = (-1/3)*(x +1) y = (-1/3)*x -1/3 +2 y = (-1/3)*x + 5/3.
