Find equation of the line which is perpendicular to the line y=5x+9 and has y-intercept = 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perpendicular means the slope of this new line is the negative reciprocal of the first slope. The negative reciprocal of 5 is -1/5. So the new equation is y = -1/5(x) +6

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

The slope of the perpendicular line must be the negative reciprocal of its original.
