Question 1183225
-----
equation of the line through point (−5,5) and perpendicular to y=59x−4. <s>Use a forward slash (i.e. "/") for fractions (e.g. 1/2 for 12).and</s>
-----


Negative reciprocal of coefficient on x term, because asked for "perpendicular" line.


{{{y=-(1/59)x+b}}}
{{{y+x/59=b}}}
{{{b=y+x/59}}}
-
{{{b=5+(-5)/59}}}
{{{b=4&54/59}}}

{{{highlight(y=-x/59-4&54/59)}}}
