Answer:

parallel: -1/2

perpendicular: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

lines that are parallel have the same slope because they never intersect

lines that perpendicular, have the opposite reciprocal slope.

y = mx + b

where m is the slope

y = -1/2x + 6

-1/2 is the slope.

the slope in the equation given: -1/2

the slope parallel to the line given : -1/2

the slope perpendicular : opposite reciprocal, so the opposite of -1/2 is 1/2 and the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2.
