Consider the line y = -1/4x + 7
- what is the slope parallel to this line?
- What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line

Parallel: -1/4 Perpendicular: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Parallel lines have the same slope. The line has a slope of -1/4 because it is following the formula y = mx+b where m is the slope. Thus, the slope would remain -1/4.

2. Perpendicular lines have the opposite reciprocal for the slope. To reciprocate flip the fraction first (-1/4 ---> -4). Then, add/get rid of the negative sign if it was there before. (-4 > 4). Thus, the slope would be 4.

Hope this helped :)

 The slope is -1
