1 x + -5 y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-5 y = -1 x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -5
\n" ); document.write( " y = 1/ 5 x + - 4/5
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b, m= slope & b= y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal -5
\n" ); document.write( "Because m1*m2 =-1
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be -5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "m= -5 ,point ( 0 , -5 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-5 = -0 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -5
\n" ); document.write( "m= -5
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = -5 x -5
