Key Skills 5.6 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Recognize and write equations of lines that are parallel or perpendicular to given lines. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that contains the point (0, 9) and is parallel to the line x – 5y = 4. x – 5y = 4 b = 9 slope-intercept form y = x – 1 5 m = 1 5 y = x + 9
