Question 304450: please help me solve this equation :
write an equation in slope-intercept from for the line perpendicular to y=-5x+7 that passes thorough the pont (-5,7).
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
perpendicular means the slopes are negative reciprocals

y = (1/5)x + b ___ substitute in (-5,7) to find "b"

7 = (1/5)(-5) + b ___ 8 = b

y = (1/5)x + 8
