_____
Continuing...

Cancel out y in both the numerator and denominator.

Expand the expression.

This can further simplified to as 

Answer:
<em>b = 5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: c is perpendicular to y = -5x - 2
Explanation: The slope of a perpendicular line is an opposite reciprocal of the original slope/line. (Basically switch the numerator and denominator and the sign. In this case, the slope is -5/1x. It’s opposite reciprocal is 1/5x.)
