Write an equation of the line that is:

a) Parallel to the line [tex]y = 4x + 1[/tex] and passes through the point (2, 3).

b) Parallel to the line [tex]2y - 6x = 9[/tex] and passes through the point (-2, 1).

c) Parallel to the line [tex]y = 4x + 3[/tex] and has the same y-intercept as the line [tex]y = 5x - 3[/tex].

d) Parallel to the line [tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}x[/tex] and has the same y-intercept as the line [tex]2y = 7x + 6[/tex].

e) Perpendicular to the line [tex]2y - 4x = 8[/tex] and passes through the point (6, -6).

f) Perpendicular to the line [tex]2y - 5x = 15[/tex] and has an x-intercept of 3.

The problem consists of finding equations of lines either parallel or perpendicular to given lines and passing through specified points. Detailed steps for each part show how to determine slopes, y-intercepts, and form final equations. The answers include: y = 4 x − 5 , y = 3 x + 7 , y = 4 x − 3 , y = − 2 1 ​ x + 3 , y = − 2 1 ​ x − 3 , and y = − 5 2 ​ x + 5 6 ​ .
