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.
