Answer:
y = -0.2x - 5.8
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.
For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5
The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".
So, the perpendicular line will have slope of
So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:
y = -1/5x + b
Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:
So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8
