Question

PLZZZZZZZ HELP!!!!!!!!!! For the graph y = 1 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 or more sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

Since it is parallel to the x- axis then its slope is zero.

A line perpendicular to it will therefore be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis.

The slope of the perpendicular line is undefined.

The slope of a parallel line is zero

Answer 2

Answer: The slope parallel to the line is zero. The slope perpendicular to the line is undefined since y=1 has a slope of zero.

Explanation:

For the equation y=1  you would rewrite it as y = 0x +1 and it would just be a straight line that is one up from the x-axis.

Also an easy way to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular is to remember that the slope is the opposite reciprocal, meaning you just flip the slope you have in the original equation so if its 3/1 flip it to 1/3

However, parallel lines are equal to the slope, so basically the slope stays the same.
