\n" ); document.write( "Given: \"Slope=m%5B1%5D=2%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "a) what is the slope of the line paralle to it?
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: remember for parallel lines; \"m%5B1%5D=m%5B2%5D=highlight%282%2F5%29\", the same slope
\n" ); document.write( "(b) what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: Remember for perpendicular lines: \"m%5B2%5D=-1%2Fm%5B1%5D\", it's the negative reciprocal: \"m%5B2%5D=-1%2F%282%2F5%29=highlight%28-5%2F2%29\"
