what is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line represented by the equation
The equation is -5x+y=1



Answer :

I am going to solve the problem with changed numbers so you actually do the work:

If the problem was -10x+y=5 instead

Then all we have to do is first switch the graph into standard form (y=mx+b)

           y=10x+5

Then Change the slope to its negative reciprocal:

            y=(-1/10)x+5

...and you have your slope: -1/10  (This is not your answer)

Now try it with your equation.
