Question

Given the line: y = -1/5x-3, what is the slope of a line parallel and perpendicular

to the function

Answer 1

parallel: m= -1/5

parpendicular: m= 5

Explanation:

parallel lines have the same slope

- 1 stays the same so - 1

5 5

parpendicular lines have the opposite reciprocal slope

- 1 flipped is - 5 turn the negative into a positive 5 or 5

5 1 1
