What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?
What is the slope of a line parallel to this line?
Slope of a perpendicular line:
005
x 5
?
Slope of a parallel line:
a

Answer 1

Slope of parallel line: -7/6

Slope of perpendicular line: 6/7

Explanation:

7x + 6y = 5

6y = -7x + 5

y= -7/6x + 5/6
