Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

• The slopes of perpendicular lines are the negative reciprocal of each other

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 7x + 2y = 7 into this form

Subtract 7x from both sides

2y = - 7x + 7 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = -
(7)/(2) x +
(7)/(2) ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -
(7)/(2)

Thus

slope of perpendicular line =
(2)/(7)

slope of parallel line = -
(7)/(2)
