Question

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

Answer 1

you have to divide the 5 and 5x by 5 add your variables together in alpha order=1

Answer 2

Answer:
`m=(-1)/(5)`

Explanation:

We know that the general intercept form of equation of line is given by :-

`y=mx+c`, where m is the slope of the line.

The given equation of line :
`y-5x=5`

Subtract 5x both sides, we get

`y=5x+5`

On comparing the equation to the general intercept form of equation of line , we get

Slope =5

Since the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

Then the slope of line that is perpendicular to the given equation will be :-

`m=(-1)/(5)`
