i think the answer is: -5

Because they are perpendicular one will be (+) while the other is (-).

The formula to get the answer is: y=mx+b
Fill in the slope (m)
Fill in the y intercept (b)

Answer:

Gradient of line t is -1/5

Explanation:


{ \sf{m _(s) * m _(t) = - 1}} \\ { \sf{5 * m _(t) = - 1 }} \\ { \sf{m _(t) = - (1)/(5) }}
