\

The equation of the line is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Add 7 to each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Add: -7+7=0)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: a+0=a)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

Let the slope of the line be $\"\"$

\

Compare the equation of the line with the slope-intercept form $\"\"$ , where m = slope of the line and b = y-intercept.

\

Therefore $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Let the slope of another line be $\"\"$ .

\

If the two nonvertical lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal. That is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore slope of the line parallel to the line $\"\"$ is also $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

If the two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore slope of the line perpendicular to the line $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The slope of a parallel line is $\"\"$ and the slope of a perpendicular line is $\"\"$ .
