Question 647550
Slope: -9


Perpendicular slope:  (-9)/1 ---> -(-1/9) = 1/9


So m = 1/9


-------------------------------------------------------


The x-intercept is -1, so (-1,0) is a point on the line. So x = -1 and y = 0


y = mx+b


y = (1/9)x+b


0 = (1/9)(-1)+b


0 = -1/9+b


0 + 1/9 = b


1/9 = b


b = 1/9


So the equation of the line is <img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\Large y = \frac{1}{9}x + \frac{1}{9}" title="x" />
