CPM Homework Help : CCG Problem 7-17

Line L is perpendicular to the line $6x-y=7$ and passes through the point $(0,6)$ . Line M is parallel to the line $y=\frac{2}{3}x-4$ and passes through the point $(-3,-1)$ . Where do these lines intersect? Explain how you found your solution.

Hint:

Find the equation of Line $L$ and $M$ in slope intercept form $(y=mx+b)$ and identify the slope of each.

More help:

Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals. The slope of parallel lines are equal.
