A line is drawn on the coordinate plane that passes through the point (10,0) and has a slip of -0.5. The y- intercept line is

The slope of the perpendicular line will be -8/5, or -1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to rearrange the equation to show the slope, putting in the format y = sx + c:

So the given line has a slope of 5/8.

A line perpendicular to that will have a negative reciprocal of that slope, so it's slope will be -8/5.
