Question

considering the line negative x -6 y equals -6 what is the line perpendicular with a slope of a line perpendicular to this line what is the slope of the line parallel to this line​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

perpendicular: undefined

parallel: zero

Explanation:

The line y = -6 is a horizontal line. Between any two points on the line, the difference in y-values is zero, and the difference in x-values is non-zero. The slope of this horizontal line is the ratio of these differences:

slope = 0/(non-zero) = 0

Any parallel line will have the same slope. The slope of a parallel line is 0.

__

A line perpendicular to a horizontal line is a vertical line. It will have the equation x = constant. Between any two points on the line, the difference in y-values is non-zero, and the difference in x-values is zero. The slope of this vertical line is the ratio of these differences:

slope = (non-zero)/0 = undefined

The slope of the perpendicular line is undefined.
