What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = 1/5x - 3

-5x

Step-by-step explanation:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

x + 5 * 4

In this problem we have to transfer the expression from verbal to mathematical language. Which would be:

x + 5 * 4

"x" represents "a number"

"5 more than a number" is represented by "x + 5"

"the product of" is indicating a multiplication, which is represented by "*"
