Enter the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. enter the answer in fraction form.
5
the line perpendicular to y = -x +5 that passes through (5, -1).
the equation of the line that passes through (5, -1) is y =

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

We have the following line:

The slope is

We find

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is of the form:

We substitute the point and find "b":

Finally, the equation is:
