Lines that are parallel have the same slope.
Lines that are perpendicular are negative inverses of each other so
7 3 × - 3 7 = - 1
and you can find this by dividing −1 by 7 3 and - 1 ÷ 7 3 = - 1 × 3 7 = - 3 7
So the slope of the perpendicular any where along the line is
- 3 7
So the parallel is 7 3 The negative inverse of 7 3 is the perpendicular slope.
