<PRE><B>Question 82861</B>
we parents need to stick together


lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other,
so the line you are looking for has a slope of -(1/(-1/5)) or 5


a line through (a,b) with slope m has an equation of the form y-b=m(x-a)


in this case, y-3=5(x-(-1)) or y=5x+8


standard form could mean variables on one side and constants on the other ... 5x-y=-8</PRE>
