A line, y = mx +b, passes through the point (-10, 3) and is perpendicular
to y=-5x + 1. What is the value of b?

Respuesta :

Answer:

b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the line is perpendicular hence, the slope would be reciprocal of -5 which is -1/5.

y = mx+b

y= 3

x= -10

m= -1/5

b = ?

3= (-1/5)(-10) + b

3 = 2+b

3-2 = b

b= 1
