Answer:

- $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 5x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{5}$

In reciprocal is the denominator one unit

Not always if you're saying it will always be something like 1/2 becomes 2/1 with a unit of one. It's just flipped, so 2/6 will be 6/2, 4/5 becomes 5/4, 22/16 becomes 16/22 etc. That is all there is to it. Make sure you simplify your answers.
