Answer:
-1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a line can be written y = mx + b where m is the slope.
y = x + 5 can be written as y = 1x + 5 which shows that the slope is 1.
If the slope of a line is m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is -1/m.
So the required slope is -1/1 = -1.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
the line is exactly opposite like a mirror image when it is perpendicular,
so the gradient of the first line is 1 (because there is no number beside x, the gradient would be 1), that means the opposite of 1 would be -1.
The answer is -1
