Answer: y= 1/5 x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To get a perpendicular line, take the reciprocal of the original "m" in the equation and reverse the sign.
- 5 becomes +1/5
Then substitute the y and x values from the given coordinate into the new equation and solve for b
y= mx+b
6=1/5 (-10) + b
6 = -2 +b
8 = b rewrite the new equation and substitute 8 for b
y= 1/5 x + 8
