Answer:
y=-5x+1 (without point p)
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the slope of y= -1/5x+2:
m=1/5
*The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the given slope, in this case 1/5 is that given slope.*
So, the slope of the line perpendicular would be:
mp(slope perpendicular)= -5
Then you construct the line equation with just a general b in this case which gives you the equation:
y= -5x+1
The equation is then put into standard form to find the equation for point p (not positive if this what was meant by the question if so this'll give you the correct answer) ax+by=c :
