Question

For the graph y = 2x + 23, find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it and the slope of a line parallel to it. Explain your answer with two are more sentences.

Answer 1

Parallel slope: 2

Perpendicular slope: -1/2

Explanation:

For a parallel line, the slope are the same. The slope is the number before the x.

For perpendicular slopes, you turn the slope upside down and take the opposite sign.
