Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: $m=\dfrac{-1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general intercept form of equation of line is given by :-

$y=mx+c$, where m is the slope of the line.

The given equation of line : $y-5x=5$

Subtract 5x both sides, we get

$y=5x+5$

On comparing the equation to the general intercept form of equation of line , we get

Slope =5

Since the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

Then the slope of line that is perpendicular to the given equation will be :-

$m=\dfrac{-1}{5}$

Answer 2

You have to divide the 5 and 5x by 5 add your variables together in alpha order=1
