1. Problem Description

The problem consists of several sub-problems related to lines in a 2D plane.
First, we need to find the intersection point of pairs of lines (problems 1-4).
Second, we need to find the equation of a line L2L_2 that passes through a given point PP and is parallel to a given line L1L_1 (problems 5-8).
Finally, we need to find the equation of a line L2L_2 that passes through a given point PP and is perpendicular to a given line L1L_1 (problems listed as 1 and 4 at the end).
I will solve the 5th problem. Find the equation of a line L2L_2 that passes through P(1,1)P(-1, 1) and is parallel to L1:xy+5=0L_1: x - y + 5 = 0.

2. Solution Steps

To find the equation of line L2L_2, we need its slope and a point it passes through. Since L2L_2 is parallel to L1L_1, they have the same slope.
First, let's find the slope of L1L_1. We can rewrite the equation of L1L_1 in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b), where mm is the slope:
xy+5=0x - y + 5 = 0
y=x+5y = x + 5
The slope of L1L_1 is m1=1m_1 = 1.
Since L2L_2 is parallel to L1L_1, its slope is also m2=1m_2 = 1.
Now we know the slope of L2L_2 and a point P(1,1)P(-1, 1) that it passes through. We can use the point-slope form of a line:
yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is the point and mm is the slope. Plugging in x1=1x_1 = -1, y1=1y_1 = 1, and m=1m = 1:
y1=1(x(1))y - 1 = 1(x - (-1))
y1=x+1y - 1 = x + 1
y=x+2y = x + 2
Rewriting in the standard form:
xy+2=0x - y + 2 = 0.

3. Final Answer

The equation of the line L2L_2 is xy+2=0x - y + 2 = 0.
