Answer:
slope of line that is parallel is 1/2
slope of line that is perpendicular is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
parallel lines have the same slope
perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite and reciprocal
x - 2y = -1
-2y = -x -1
y = 1/2x + 1/2
the coefficient of the 'x' term represents the slope
