The first step to solving an equation like this is to find the slope of a line that will be perpendicular to the line given. The slope of a line that's perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal of -1/5 is 5. So, so far our equation is y = 5x + b. Now, to find what b is equal to, we should substitute the values of x and y from the point (1,2) since we know that our line goes through the point. Our equation becomes:
2 = 5 + b
b= -3
That means that the equation of our new line is y = 5x - 3
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
For 4x/x+3, just cancel the x to get 4+3=7
For -4x/x+6, cancel the x to get -4+6=2
7+2=9

The equation for slope is:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
-2 -(-7) = 5
-9 -(-1) = -8
Slope of the line:
5/-8 or -5/8
