Answer:

Slope of Parallel Line: -7

Explanation:

A set of parallel lines will ALWAYS have the same slope. Perpendicular lines will have complete opposite slopes, for example, the slope of a line perpendicular to this one would be 1/7. If the slope is positive, the other slope will be negative and vice versa. For perpendicular lines, you also have to flip the fractions.
