Answer:

-3/4; 4/3

Explanation:

8x - 6y = -4

6y = 8x + 4

y = (8/6)x + (4/6)

y = (4/3)x + (2/3)

Perpendicular: m1 × m2 = -1

Slope: -3/4

Parallel lines: m1 = m2

Slope: 4/3

Given:

Line
8 x-6 y=-4

To find:

Slope of the perpendicular line and slope of the parallel line.

Solution:

Equation of a given line:


8 x-6 y=-4

Subtract 8x on both sides, we get


8 x-6 y-8x=-4-8x


-6 y=-8x-4

Divide by -6 on both sides.


$(-6 y)/(-6) =(-8x)/(-6) -(4)/(-6)


$y =(4x)/(3) +(2)/(3)

Slope of this line is
(4)/(3).

If two lines are perpendicular then their slopes are negative inverse of one another.

Slope of perpendicular line =
-(3)/(4)

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal.

Slope of perpendicular line =
(4)/(3)
