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

Please help! What is the line's slope??

MariettaO [177]

The slope is the rise over run. Basically, any line has a constant increase. If you are looking at a line on a graph and each point it meets at is 1 up and 1 over, the slope is 1. Say the line goes up two and over one for each time it meets an actual point, the slope would be 2. If it is 1 up and 2 over, it would be 1/2.
