find the slope of a line parallel to and a line perpendicular to the given line.
a. line of slope 2%2F3
a line parallel to the given line will have same slope: so,2%2F3
a line perpendicular to the given line will have a slope negative reciprocal: so,-1%2F%282%2F3%29=-3%2F2


b. line of slope -6
a line parallel to the given line will have same slope: so,-6
a line perpendicular to the given line will have a slope negative reciprocal: so,-1%2F%28-6%29=1%2F6
