Hi, there!
______
[tex]\begin{tabular}{c|1} \boldsymbol{Things \ to \ Consider} \\\cline{1-3} \end{tabular}[/tex]
(1)
- The slopes of parallel lines are identical.
{The line [tex]\sf{y=7x-1}[/tex] has a slope of 7}
Thus,
{The slope of the line that is parallel to the aforementioned line (whatever its equation happens to be) is [tex]\sf{7}[/tex].}
(2)
- The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative inverses of each other.
The negative inverse of 7 is
[tex]-\dfrac{1}{7}[/tex].
Therefore,
[tex]\textsc{Answers:\begin{cases} \bf{7} \\ \bf{-\dfrac{1}{7}} \end{cases}}[/tex]
Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,
happy studying!! [tex]\tiny\boldsymbol{Frozen \ melody}[/tex]
