Question 585880: given that the slope of the line is 5/7.
the slope of the line that is parallel to that line would be?
and the slope of the line that is perpendicular to that line would be?

Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the slope of the line that is parallel to that line would be ___5/7____

and the slope of the line that is perpendicular to that line would be ___-7/5____

Recall that parallel lines have slopes that are equal to one another.

Also, remember that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.
