Question 821644: I am having a really hard time with Algebra. I do not know how to find the slope of a parallel line and the slope of a perpendicular line when the line is -8x-7=1. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):

given:
-8x - 7 = 1
-8x = 8
x = -1
---
the given line is a vertical line (x = -1)
---
vertical lines have undefined slope
---
however, we can say that all vertical lines are parallel to each other even though their slopes are not defined.
---
we can also say that a line perpendicular to a vertical line must be horizontal.
---
all horizontal lines have slope = 0
