Answer:

y=-9x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line has the following form:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the y axis.

If two lines of slopes m and n are perpendicular then it is true that:

m=-\frac{1}{n}

For the line y =\frac{1}{9}x+2 the slope is: m=\frac{1}{9}

So the slope of the perpendicular line is:

m=-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{9}}

m=-9

So the equation is:

y=-9x+b

To find b we substitute the point in the equation and solve for b

5=-9(-1)+b

b=5-9

b=-4

Then the equation of the line in the form of pending interception is:

y=-9x-4

Answer:

y=-9x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines meet the following condition:

m2*m1= -1 (a)

where m is the slope of a line

m1 is given through equation of line 1, y =1/9 x+2

m2 must be -9 -> from eq. (a)

The Line has the following equation: y=mx+b, where m=-9 and the b is the interception with y axis.

Evaluating the above equation in (-1,5) we have the following equation

5= -9*(-1)+b, we have b=-4

The line has the following equation

y=-9x-4

Evaluate the calculation from left to right, that is

3 - 24 - 8 + 32

= - 21 - 8 + 32

= - 29 + 32

= 3
