Answer:

Solution given:

y=6/7x+7

Comparing above equation with y=mx+c

we get

m=6/7

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

Since for parallel slope are equal ,

slope will be 6/7.

b What is the slope of a line perpendicular to it?

Since for perpendicular line slope is reciprocal to another line but negative so

slope of line is-7/6.
