what is the slope of a line parallel to this line?
what is the slop perpendicular to this line?

anonymous · Answer

idk but i think the slope is y=7/2x+1/2

omgfff i didnt click it lol sorrry

y = mx + b
7x-2y=-2
-2y = -7x-2
y = (7/2)x + 1
Since the slope of the line is 7/2, a line perpendicular to this will have a "negative reciprocal" slope.
Let m = slope of perpendicular line
then.m(7/2) = -1
m = -2/7
.
And, I need to know the slope of a line parallel to the line 7x-2y=-2
Since we found the slope of:
7x-2y=-2
to be 7/2
a line parallel to this will have the SAME slope
therefore, slope of a parallel line is 7/2
