Question

How do you find the slope of a line that is a) parallel to the line given and b)perpendicular to the line with the given equation 2x−5y=−7?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey there.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) For slope of the parallel to the given line:

M1 = M2 ( both the slopes will be equal)

Y= mX + C  ( equation of the line, m= slope)

therefore, m= 2/5

B) For slope perpendicular to the line:

M1 * M2 = -1

M2 = -1/ (2/5) = -5/2
