the slope of the first line is -7, because the slope of the line in y= mx+b form is m, the coefficient of x when the coefficient of y is 1.
The slope of the second line is -A/B = -1/7
the slope a line in General form is m = -A/B
The A is the coefficient of X and the B is the coefficient of y...
-1/7 = m2
-7 = m1
The lines are NOT perpendicular because the second line is merely the reciprocal of the first not the opposite reciprocal...

Slope of line y = -7x+6 is -7
Slope of line 7y+x=-6 is -1/7
The lines are neither || or _|_.

y=mx+b
m = slope
b= y-intercept
-7
no there not perpendicualr
