Consider the line given: y=1/2x-3/4. What is the slope of a line: a)parallel to it? and b) perpendicular to it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope of your line is \(\frac{1}{2}\) so slope of perpendicular line is\(-2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok whats the slope for the parallel one

OpenStudy (phi):

Parallel lines have the same slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its -2

OpenStudy (phi):

Perp lines have -1/m and m for their slopes Parallel both have m as slope
