To find the slope between two points, we use the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the coordinates (0, 5) and (1, 6), the slope is:

slope = (6 - 5) / (1 - 0)
= 1

Therefore, the original slope is 1.

To find the perpendicular slope, we take the negative reciprocal of the original slope. The negative reciprocal of 1 is -1.

Therefore, the perpendicular slope is -1.
