Consider the line x+4y=1 What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line? What is the slope of a line parallel to this line? Slope of perpendicular line: Slope of the parallel line:
Added by Page M.
Step 1
x + 4y = 1 can be rewritten as y = -1/4x + 1/4. So, the slope of the given line is -1/4. Show more…
