?
Slope of what answer?

What is the slope of the GIVEN LINE?
6x-y=6
-
6%2F1
highlight_green%286%29

What is the slope of the line PERPENDICULAR to the GIVEN LINE?
Negative reciprocal of 6;
which is highlight%28-1%2F6%29.


"if a line passes through (0,-5) and" has slope -1%2F6, the equation of this line, in slope-intercept form, is y=-%281%2F6%29x-5.
