Problem 11: Find the slope of a line perpendicular to \( y = -5x + 2 \)
Step 1: Identify the slope of the given line
The given line is in slope - intercept form \( y=mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope. For the line \( y=-5x + 2 \), the slope of the given line \( m_1=-5 \).
Step 2: Find the slope of the perpendicular line
If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is \( - 1 \), i.e., \( m_1\times m_2=-1 \). Let the slope of the perpendicular line be \( m_2 \). We have \( -5\times m_2=-1 \). Solving for \( m_2 \), we get \( m_2=\frac{-1}{-5}=\frac{1}{5} \).
Step 1: Identify the slope of the given line
For the line \( y = \frac{1}{2}x+1 \) (in slope - intercept form \( y = mx + b \)), the slope of the given line \( m_1=\frac{1}{2} \).
Step 2: Find the slope of the perpendicular line
Using the property of perpendicular lines \( m_1\times m_2=-1 \). Let \( m_2 \) be the slope of the perpendicular line. Then \( \frac{1}{2}\times m_2=-1 \). Solving for \( m_2 \), we multiply both sides by 2: \( m_2=-2 \).
Step 1: Identify the slope of the given line
The line \( y=-x + 5 \) is in slope - intercept form \( y=mx + b \), where \( m=-1 \).
Step 2: Find the slope of the parallel line
If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. So the slope of the line parallel to \( y=-x + 5 \) is also \( - 1 \).
