Answer:

8/5, -5/8

Explanation:


5x+8y=-8 \\ \\ 8y=-5x-8 \\ \\ y=-(5)/(8)x-1

So, the slope of the given line is -5/8.

  • Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, so the answer for the first question is 8/5.
  • Parallel lines have the same slope, so the answer to the second question is -5/8.
