Question

Line K has a slope of -5. Line j is perpendicular to line k and passes through the point (5, 9). Create the equation for line j. (Please help me)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1/5 x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of line j: m = -(1/-5) = 1/5

j pass (5,9): (y-9)/(x-5) = 1/5

y-9 = 1/5(x-5) = 1/5 x - 1

y = 1/5 x + 8
