Find the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that satisfies the given conditions.

The graph is perpendicular to the graph of y = 5x − 9 and passes through the point whose coordinates are (3, −1).

1 answer

slope = -1/5
y = -(1/5)x + b

-1 = -3/5 + b
b = -2/5
so
y = -(1/5)x -2/5
or
5 y = -x -2
