Answer:
y = 1/5x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
perpendicular to a line means we flip the slope to opposite of what it is
in other wrds, since your slope is -5, your new slope for the line perpendicular to it would be 1/5.
Now we just use the same equation to find the y-intercept, which is b.
y = mx + b; m is your slope and b is your y intercept.
use the points given; (5, -10).
-10 = 1/5(5) + b
-10 = 1 + b
-11 = b
now put your equation together since you have all the pieces
y = 1/5x - 11
