Write an equation for each line in point-slope form and then convert it to standard form
write an equation of the line parallel to x+2y=6 through (8,3)
write an equation of the line perpendicular to x+2y=6 through (8,3)
graph the three lines on the same coordinate plane

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it easier to work with the given standard-form equation. The parallel line will have the same x- and y-coefficients and a new constant. That constant can be found by substituting the given x- and y-values into the left-side expression:

  x + 2y = 8 + 2·3 = 14

The parallel line is x + 2y = 14.

The perpendicular line will have the x- and y-coefficients swapped and one of them negated. (In standard form, the x-coefficient is positive, so in this case it is convenient to negate the y-coefficient.) Then the perpendicular line through (8, 3) is ...

  2x -y = 2·8 -3 = 13

The perpendicular line is 2x - y = 13.
