Answer:
2 and -
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
3y = 6x + 9 ( divide all terms by 3 )
y = 2x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 2
(i)
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
the slope of line t is 2
(ii)
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
, thus
the slope of line r is -
