The slope - intercept form of two line equations are ![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=62a690b132e422e1711ccf6cf2e4f2b3.png\")
.
The above two lines are parallel, so their slopes are same.
\Therefore ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=f8cac0f2d89634aad0912b3c9d9a1121.png\")

The slope - intercept form of line equation ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=49c0da544917000eae3ac07c01fb7e63.png\")
is perpendicular to the the above two line equations. \ \
The lines are perpendicular, so their slopes are negative reciprocals.
Therefore slope of perpendicular line is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=1339a0346cbfbeeb8c851f0ebf9381b5.png\")
