Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

ok whats the slope for the parallel one

Answer 3

Parallel lines have the same slope

Answer 4

so its -2

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

oh ok lol thanks
