On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, 1) and (5, 0). What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to and has the same y-intercept as the given line
Slope of given line = [ 0-1] / [ 5 - 0 ] = -1/5
And because (0, 1) is on this line, the y intercept = 1
The slope of the perpedicular line is 5
So
The equation of this line is
y = 5x + 1
Here's a graph of both lines :
