First you want to locate the slope of the line containing the criteria (4,3) and (2,-5). You attempt this by looking the version in y and dividing it by the version in x the version in y is 3-(-5)=8 the version in x is 4-2=2 The slope of your line is 8/2=4 the approach starts an similar for perpendicular lines yet then you locate the adverse inverse utilizing the criteria (-7,6) and (2,3) the version in x is 6-3=3 the version in y is -7-2=-9 The slope of your line containing (-7,6) and (2,3) is -3/9 or -a million/3 The slope of the perpendicular lines is 3 desire this allows As for the issue that you extra, if you're searching for the slope of the parallel lines you're the finest option. if you're searching for the slope of the perpendicular lines it would want to be valuable and 7/2.

a parallel line will have identical slopes, -2
perpendicular lines follow the equation m1xm2= -1, (where m stands for slope) so a line perpendicular to that line would have a slope of 1/2

Parallel lines have equal gradients.
Your parallel line will therefore also have slope -2

Two lines that are parallel have the same slope.
Therefore the answer is -2

slope of all parallel lines is equal
so slope is -2
