Question

what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y-5x=5?
5
1/5
-1/5
-5

Answer 1

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slop to each other.
So first solve for y.
Slope will be the coefficient of x in y=mx+c form.
m is the slope. Then negative reciprocal this slope and in this case the answer is -1/5
