Question

Find the slope of the line that is parallel and perpendicular to the line through the pair of points (-2,-7) and (6,6) plss help pls

Answer 1

parallel slope =
`(13)/(8)` , perpendicular =
`(-8)/(13)`

Explanation:

to find slope, formula:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

:
`(6--7)/(6--2)`

:
`(13)/(8)`

if parallel, same slope, so slope = 13/8

if perpendicular, slope = -1/n = -1/13/8 = -8/13 is the perpendicular slope.
