Question

Consider the line =−−8x6y1.

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

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

Answer 1

parallel: -8

perp: +1/8

Explanation:

parallel lines have the same slopes

perp lines have opposite reciprocal slopes

Answer 2

Below

Explanation:

Well I can't really see the equation but I can tell you how to do it.

Parallel slopes are the same slope as the equation.

For example, y = mx + b

The slope of a line parallel to it is m

Perpendicular slopes are the opposite reciprocal as the equation.

For example, y = mx + b

The slope of a line perpendicular to it is
`-(1)/(m)`
