Answer:

y = -
(1)/(5) x + 6

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 + 1 ← 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) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/(5)

the y- intercept c = 6 , then

y = -
(1)/(5) x + 6 ← equation of line A
