How can edit my .htacess so that I can decrease my 404 errors?

I have been getting the following 404 URL errors

  1. http://flatschicago/slide-9 but I want that to be redirected to http://www.flatslife.com
  2. http://flatschicago/magazine/tara-clack - to be redirected to http://www.northmag.flatslife.com

On my File Manager > public_html folders there is an .htaccess file However, in public_html folder > Magazine (folder) there is also a .htaccess file in that folder as well. This .htaccess file is what I am looking at - because any other doesn't seem instrument. Can anyone please help?

This is my htacess from my pubic_folders:
