Consider the line −7x-2y=4 . What is the slope of a line parallel to this line? What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?
Added by Ryan L.
Step 1
Given: \(-7x - 2y = 4\) Add \(7x\) to both sides: \[ -2y = 7x + 4 \] Divide both sides by \(-2\): \[ y = \frac{7x}{-2} + \frac{4}{-2} = -\frac{7}{2}x - 2 \] Show more…
