Find the equation of the line with the given properties. express the equation in general form or slope -intercept form. perpendicular to 5x+y=-27 contains the points (-5,-3)

Isolate the y to turn the line into slope intercept form -

Now, to find a line perpendicular to that, it has to be its negative reciprocal; turn the fractionupside down and positive turns to negative whilst negative turns to positive. So, the perpendicular slope of - 5 is 1/5. Now use the point slope formula to insert the point (-5,-3) to find the y intercept (b). It's -2. So the answer is
