Figure this out 4 me!!?

Question

Find the slope of a line (a) parallel to and (b) perpindicular to each line.
1. y= -2x 2. y= 1/4x-6 3. x= -3

Answer 1

1.a. m=-2
b. m=1/2

2.a. m=1/4
b. m=-4

3.a. m=undefined
b. m=0

hope that helps!! :)

Answer 2

Parallel lines have the same slope. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other (the product of the two slopes is -1).

So figure out the slope of the given line, and use that slope to write new equations.

Answer 3

.....Parallel....perpendicular

1.....-2....................1/2
2....1/4...................-4
3....undefined.........0
