Answer:

  • parallel: 5
  • perpendicular: -1/5

Explanation:

The equation of the given line is written in "slope-intercept form":

y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope

Matching this form to the equation you have, you see that ...

m = 5 . . . the slope of your given line.

__

A parallel line will have the same slope: 5.

__

A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of this. The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5. The opposite of that is -1/5.

A perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/5.
