Answer:

Question 3

y =
(-1)/(5)x

Questions 4

y =
(-1)/(4)x + 4
(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Questions 3

From the given information:

m = -1/5

x = -5

y = 1

Use this to solve for b (y intercept)

y = mx + b

1 = -5(
(-1)/(5))+ b

1 = 1 + b Subtract 1 from both sides

0 = b

y =mx + b

y =
(-1)/(5)x + 0

y =
(-1)/(5) x

Question 4

Perpendicular slope are opposite reciprocals.

m =
(-1)/(4)

x = 1

y = 4

y = mx + b

Us this information to solve for b

4 =
(-1)/(4)(1) + b

4 =
(-1)/(4) + b Add
(1)/(4) to both sides

4
(1)/(4) = b

y =
(-1)/(4)x + 4
(1)/(4)

or

y =
(-1)/(4)x +
(17)/(4)
