Given a line with a slope of - 1/5 what is the slope of any line that lies perpendicular to it?

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of given line : -1/5

we will use the concept of relation between two perpendicular lines.

If two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slope is equal to -1.

Mathematically, if slope of two lines are m1 and m2 and they are perpendicular

Then

m1*m2 = -1

Let the slope of other line be m.

Given that the other other line perpendicular to line with slope -1/5.

Then product of -1/5 and m will be equal to 1.

writing it Mathematically, we have

m*-1/5 = -1

=>-m = -1*5

=>m = 5

Thus, slope of any line perpendicular to line with slope -1/5 is 5.

the answer would be 150 books

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 300 by 2 you will get 150

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
