Question 521381
1	y  	=	5	x	+	9				
Divide by 	1									
	y  	=	5	x	+	9				
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										-0.2
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
