state the slopes of the lines paralelle to and perpendicular to the graph of each direction.
1. 6x-5y=11

2.y=2/3x-4/5

3. 3x=10y-3

Hi! All the answers got wiped!

you need to put the equation into the form:

y = mx + c

m is the slope of the parallel line

for perpendicular slope, it is just -1/m

Enjoy!

I totally agree and you even included my -1/m that I had written before everything was wiped.
