Question

perpendicular to y=-1/5x+6 passing through the point (5,-6) THE EQUATION OF THE LINE IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM IS?

Answer 1

\[slope_{The unknown line }=\frac{ -1 }{ \frac{ -1 }{ 5 } }=5\]
\[The ..equation..of ..the..line..is..\frac{ y+6 }{ x-5 }=5....y+6=5(x-5)\]

Answer 2

slope of the given line = -1/5

slope of the line perpendicular to the given line can be found from the formula


find the slope and substitute in the eqn

y = mx+c

substitute x and y as (5,-6) to get c value
