C
It's a transform fault because the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate are moving sideways against each other and the fault extends about 800 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Occasionally, because the fault is rugged and snaky, the plates get stuck against each other in their movement causing a build-up of energy at the point where they are stuck. When such a point gets unreleased abruptly, the built-up energy is suddenly released causing massive earthquakes. Smaller earthquakes do frequently occur (compared to big ones) as the friction between the two plates causes smaller stick-release points.

Answer:
Perpendicular: -2/5
Parallel: 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept formula is y=mx+b, where mx is the slope.
So in the equation y = 5/2x, 5/2 is understood as the slope.
To find a perpendicular slope you have to do the opposite (sign), reciprocal (flip denominator and numerator) of the original number.
Therefore 5/2 become negative, and then the numerator and denominator switch sides. (-2/5)
Parallel slope is the exact same as the original one so nothing changes. (5/2)
