Question

what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y-5x=5?
5
1/5
-1/5
-5

Answer 1

-5

Answer 2

and why did u become my fan

Answer 3

thanks, because you answered

Answer 4

except -5 was wrong

Answer 5

actually -5 is wrong

Answer 6

sorry i thought it was parralell

Answer 7

two lines are perpendicular when their slopes have the product=-1
so y-5x=5-->y=5+5x
so the slope of the line perpendicular with the line given is 5*x=-1
x=-1/5

Answer 8

so the slope must be =-1/5

Answer 9

slope of
\[y=5x+5\] is 5
slope of perp line is
\[-\frac{1}{5}\]

Answer 10

thanks, I'll do that

Answer 11

the given line y-5x=5 can also be represented as y=5x+5.
comparing this equation with y=mx+c,where m is the slope,we get the slope as 5.
the condition for two lines to be perpendicular is,product of slopes should be -1.
so the slope of the line perpendicular to the gin=ven equation would be,(-1/5).
