find the slope of a line parallel to and a line perpendicular to the given line.
a. line of slope
a line parallel to the given line will have same slope: so,
a line perpendicular to the given line will have a slope negative reciprocal: so,


b. line of slope
a line parallel to the given line will have same slope: so,
a line perpendicular to the given line will have a slope negative reciprocal: so,
