Question

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 5x+y=-4. Fully simplify your answer.

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

5x+y=-4
-5x -5x
y=-5x-4

slope intercept form = y=mx+b, where m=slope

and a line parallel to this line would have the same slope right

so i assume the answer to be -5
