Consider the line -6x-2y=-4. What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?
What is the slope of a line parallel to this line?

Parallel Slope: -3 Perpendicular Slope: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for y to get the simplified equation for the line.

Once you solve, the equation should be y=-3x+2

Seeing this, we know that the slope of this line is -3. A line parallel will have the same slope as the original equation, and a line perpendicular will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal.

Hope that helps!

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
