Y = -1/5x + 2
A line perpendicular to another line has an opposite reciprocal slope. What opposite means is that you flip the sign (from - to + or from + to -) and reciprocal means that you flip the numerator and denominator (so if line A is perpendicular to line B and line As slope is -3, line Bs slope would be 1/3).
First find the slope of 5x - y = -3
Add y to both sides
5x = y - 3
Add 3 to both sides
y = 5x + 3
So the slope of the line is 5. That means the slope of of the perpendicular line is -1/5.
Plug the slope of the perpendicular line and the point (5, 1) into point slope form to solve the equation
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = -1/5(x - 5)
y - 1 = -1/5x + 1
y = -1/5x + 2
Answer:
what triangle????????????????????????????
Answer:
(in attachment)
Step-by-step explanation:
you can find the points by inputting the x-values into the equation to solve for the y-values, then connecting the plotted points to create the line.
When x=-4
y=1/2(-4)
y=-2
(-4,-2)
Repeat for all values.
