Answer:

F(x)=-1/5x-7

Explanation:

You have to switch signs and flip the orgininal slope to get a perpendicular one.

5 will become - 5

Then it will become -1/5 because 5 on its own is equivalent to -5/1

Answer: the slope is - 1/5

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form which is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents the slope

c represents the y intercept

Comparing with the given equation,

Slope, m = 5

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to

F(x)=5x-7 is - 1/5
