what is the parallel and perpendicular slope to this equation including all the steps to find this problem y = $\"-2%2F3\"$ x + 6; Assume this is what you mean
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel is easy, parallel lines have the same slope, therefore
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2%2F3\"$ is the slope of any line parallel to the line of this equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The slope relationship of perpendicular lines is given by:
\n" ); document.write( "m1 * m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m1 = $\"-2%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "m2 = the slope of the perpendicular line
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2%2F3\"$ * m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by $\"-3%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "1 * m2 = -1 * $\"-3%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "m2 = $\"3%2F2\"$ is the slope of the line perpendicular to the given equation \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
