Question

Consider the line 6x +2y = 2.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?
What is the slope of a line parallel to this line?

Answer 1

The slope parallel to this is -3.

The slope perpendicular to this is 1/3.

Explanation:

6x + 2y = 2

2y = -6z + 2

y = -3z + 1

Slope = -3

The slope parallel to this is -3.

The slope perpendicular to this is 1/3.
