y = -4x - 4
(a) slope = -4
(b) slope = -1/ ( -4)
= 1/4

the general form of a line is y=mx+c, where m is the slope. Hence slope of the given line= -4. Lines which are parallel have the same slope hence Mparallel= -4.
When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes = -1. Hence Mperpendicular= 1/4
