perpendicular x-6y=-2,(0,-5)

perpendicular

x - 6 y = - 2, (0, - 5)

y = - 6 x - 5

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

perpendicular to

x - 6 y = - 2

that passes through

(0, - 5)

Find the slope of

x - 6 y = - 2 : m = \frac{1}{6}

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = - 6

Find the line with slope m=

- 6

and passing through

(0, - 5) : y = - 6 x - 5

y = - 6 x - 5
