when the slope of the line is parallel it's the same right? for instance 5/6 would be 5/6 and perpendicular would be -6/5?
right ! parallel lines have same slope
for perpendicular lines, product of slopes = -1
so would it be -5/6 or -6/5x
if the slope of a line is 5/6, then : --> any line parallel to it will have a slope of "5/6" --> any line perpendicular to it will have a slope of "-6/5"
Great thank you!!
np :)
I have to put x after it still right?
nope
for lines, slope is just a number
Oh, I thought it always had to have an x
for the line : \(y = mx + b\) \(m\) is the slope
\(x\) is a variable, and so is \(y\)
Gotcha
So if there is a slope of 5 then the parallel would be 5 and the perpendicular would be -1/5
You got it !!
Whoop I think I may be learning something lol
lol these are not difficult as statistics
im bet these are piece of cake for u :)
