Question 979253: Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described.
Through: (- 5 , - 4 ), perpendicular to y = -5/9x + 4

slope of the second line is the negative reciprocal of the given line or 9/5
use slope intercept formula
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y+4=(9/5)(x+5)
y+4=(9/5)x+9
y=(9/5)x + 5
In the graph, it is the line going up and to the right, with y-intercept +5.
