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.
