Question 1145708
-------------------------------------------------------------------
if a line passes through (0,-5) and perpendicular with 6x-y=6 what's the slope of the answer
--------------------------------------------------------------------


?
Slope of what answer?


What is the slope of the GIVEN LINE?
{{{6x-y=6}}}
-
{{{6/1}}}
{{{highlight_green(6)}}}


What is the slope of the line PERPENDICULAR to the GIVEN LINE?
Negative reciprocal of 6;
which is  {{{highlight(-1/6)}}}.



"if a line passes through (0,-5) and" has slope  {{{-1/6}}}, the equation of this line, in slope-intercept form, is  {{{y=-(1/6)x-5}}}.
