Question

Given the line: y = -1/5x-3, what is the slope of a line parallel and perpendicular
to the function

Answer 1

Answer:

parallel: m= -1/5

parpendicular: m= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines have the same slope

- 1      stays the same so      - 1  

 5                                            5

parpendicular lines have the opposite reciprocal slope

- 1      flipped is     - 5      turn the negative into a positive   5      or    5

 5                             1                                                                  1
