What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to and has the same y-intercept as the given line? (the points are (0,1) and (5,0) y = x + 1 y = x + 5 y = 5x + 1 y = 5x + 5

These equations are in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.let us first find the slope (we do this by dividing the change in y-values by the change in x-values): (0, 1) and (5, 0)1 - 0 / 0 - 5  =>   1/-5  =>   -1/5the slope is -1/5.now, perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other, so the slope of a perpendicular line will be 5.one of the given points is (0, 1), which must be the y-int since the x-value is 0. the answer is: y = 5x + 1hope this !

Ithink the answer is y = 5x + 1
