The slope of a line parallel to this line is -5 and the slope of a line perpendicular to this line is 1/5

How to determine the slopes?

The slope is given as:

m = -5

Parallel line have the same slope.

So, the slope of a line parallel to this line is -5

However, perpendicular lines have their slopes to be opposite reciprocal

This means that:

  • Perpendicular slope = -1/-5
  • Perpendicular slope = 1/5

The slope of a line perpendicular to this line is 1/5
