Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point P(4,3)And is perpendicular to the line y=-5x+2

Answer 1

y = 1/5x + 2 1/5

Explanation:

since the slope of the line in the equation given is -5 the perpendicular slope to that will be the opposite reciprocal which is 1/5

Then plug x, y and m into y = mx + b

3 = 1/5 (4) + b

3 = 4/5 + b

2 1/5 = b

Write equation

y = 1/5x + 2 1/2
