Question 518866
1	y  	=	5	x	+	6			
Divide by 	1								
	y  	=	5.000	x	+	6			
Compare this equation with y=mx+b									
slope m =	5.00								
									
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal									
m1*m2=-1									
The slope of the required line will be 	-1/5						
									
m=	- 1/5	,point	(	0	,	6	)		
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in									
y=mx+b									
6	=	0.00	+	b					
b=	6								
m=	- 1/5								
The required equation is		y  	=	-  1/ 5	x	+	6
