You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need to write an equation in slope intercept form for a line that passes through (-1, 5) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is x = 6
---------------------------
Plot the point and dras the line x=6.
If your line is perpendicular to x=6 it is a line with slope = 0
and it has the form y=k.
But the line passes thru (-1,5) where y=5.
So the equation you want is y=5 which contains all points where y=5.
