SOLUTION: Consider the line -6x-4y=-2 What is the slope of a line parallel to this line? What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?

Question 761677: Consider the line -6x-4y=-2
What is the slope of a line parallel to this line?
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?

Being shown in standard form, judge the slope -3/2 just by looking at the given equation (for a line parallel).
-4y=6x-2
y=(6/-4)x+1/2
y=-(3/2)x+1/2
The slope obviously -(3/2).

Negative reciprocal of that is for the slope perpendicular to the line.
2/3 = slope perpendicular to y=-(3/2)x+1/2
