The document provides steps to find lines through a given point (4, -1) that are parallel and perpendicular to the given line 2x - 3y = 9. To find the parallel line, the slope of the given line is calculated as m = 2/3. The equation of the parallel line through the given point is then derived as y + 1 = (2/3)(x - 4). To find the perpendicular line, the slope is calculated as the negative reciprocal of the original slope, which is m = -3/2. The equation of the perpendicular line through the given point is then derived as y - (-1) = -3/2(x - 4).
