Question

Consider the line y = 1/4 - 5/4 x

Slope of a parallel line
Slope of a perpendicular line

Answer 1

parallel line slop2 = -5/4

perpendicular line slope = 4/5

Explanation:

If 2 lines are parallel, they will have equal slopes.

Therefore, the slope of a line parallel to y = 1/4 - 5/4 x will be -5/4

If 2 lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. So the slope of the perpendicular line = -1 ÷ -5/4 = 4/5
