Linear Equations - Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Practice Problems Online

What is the $y$ -intercept of the line that is parallel to the line $5x - y - 3 = 0$ and passes through the point $(-9, 16)$ ?

Two lines $y=-\frac{1}{4}x+3 \text{ and } y=ax-9$ are perpendicular to each other. What is the value of $a ?$

The $2$ lines

$mx-4y-5m+3=0, \\ 12x+(m+17)y+7m-29=0$

are perpendicular to each other for some real number $m$ . What is $m$ ?

If the two sets in the Cartesian plane $\begin{aligned} A &= \{(x,y) \mid x+ay+1=0\} \\ B &= \{(x,y) \mid 3x-by+1=0\} \end{aligned}$ satisfy $A \cap B=\emptyset,$ what is the value of $\frac{b}{a}?$

Line $AB$ passes through two points $A=(7,\ 10)$ and $B=(10,\ 9)$ . If a line is perpendicular to line $AB$ and passes through points $(-5,\ 12)$ and $(2,\ a)$ , what is the value of $a$ ?
