Question

A line has a slope of 6.
A. What is the slope of the line parallel to it?
B. What is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?

Answer 1

A. Slope = 6

B. Slope = -6

Answer 2

parallel lines have equal slopes >> a) 6
perpendicular lines have slopes with a product of -1
>>> b) -1/6

Answer 3

^What he said

Answer 4

@SherryRoadcap do check your calculations :DDD

Answer 5

How do I figure it out?

Answer 6

how do u figure what out @vshiroky

Answer 7

The slope of the line parallel and perpendicular.. I'm not sure how you got those

Answer 8

Oh my goodness I did do that wrong xD

Answer 9

slope of the line is the coefficient of x(NO. MULTIPLIED WITH x) which is given in this case as 6...so PARALLEL LINES ALWAYS HAVE EQUAL SLOPES
FOR PERPENDICULAR LINE WE HAVE THE FORMULA THAT m1 x m2 =-1 where m1 is the slope of one line and m2 is the slope of the perpendicular...as slope of line is given as 6 we put it into the formula and get a slope of -1/6
:)))

Answer 10

Ok... I may have another one to try can I tag you if I do with my answer?

Answer 11

What is the slope is 8/9

Answer 12

The parallel is 8/9 is the perpendicular -8/9

Answer 13

k..glad to help

Answer 14

if the slope is 8/9 then parallel lines will have equal slopes
perpendicular lines will have slopes with a product of -1>>> -9/8

Answer 15

Hmm ok
thank you
