and passes through the point (1,−3)
.(1 point)
Responses

y=16x−32

y is equal to 1 sixth x minus 3 halves

y=−6x+3

y is equal to negative 6 x plus 3

y=16x−196

y is equal to 1 sixth x minus 19 sixths

y=−6x−9

y is equal to negative 6 x minus 9

Answer 1

Slope of y = 16x + 5 is 16, so the perpendicular slope is -1/16. Using point (1, -3):

y + 3 = -1/16 (x - 1) → y = -(1/16)x - 47/16.
