the slope of the line perpendicular to the graph of the given equation will be negative reciprocal of its slope\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=+-5x+%2B+9\"$ the slope of this line is $\"m=-5\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the slope of the line perpendicular to this line is $\"m%5B1%5D=-%281%2F-5%29\"$ =>\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"m%5B1%5D=1%2F5%29\"$ \r
