Question

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the y=-1/5x-9?

Plz help me

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Remember that the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a given line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Here we are given the line y = -(1/5)x - 9. The slope is (-1/5). The negative reciprocal of this is +5. That's the answer you wanted.
