A line has an x-intercept of –5 and a y-intercept of 1. Determine the slope of a line parallel to this line.

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A line with an x-intercept of -5 has the coordinates (-5, 0); that same line with a y-intercept of 1 has the coordinates of (0, 1). The slope of this line is

[tex]m=\frac{1-0}{0-(-5)}\\m= \frac{1}{5}\\[/tex]

A line that is perpendicular to this one will have a slope of -5.
