Question

Which graph represents a line perpendicular to the line with the equation y=-1/5x+6?

Answer 1

y = 5x + 6

Explanation:

Remember:

Parallel: The slope is the same

Perpendicular: The slope is the opposite reciprocal

If we look at the equation
`y=-(1)/(5)x+6`, it is in slope intercept form and its slope is -1/5. Now, we will first need to flip the fraction and get rid of the negative sign.

`y=5x+6`

And we are done!
