Question

If the slope is -3 what is the parallel slope? What is the perpendicular slope

Answer 1

A line that is parallel to another line will have the same slope as the original. A line that is perpendicular to another line with have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original.

Original: -3 / 1

Parallel (same): -3 / 1

Perpendicular (opposite reciprocal): 1/3

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer 2

Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$ is the perpendicular slope. -3 is the parallel slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slope is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.

Parallel slope is the same/equal to the original slope.
