what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to and has the same y intercept as the given line

Answer:
y=5x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the given line
we have
(0,1) and (5,0)
m=(0-1)/(5-0)
m=-1/5
step 2
Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1
m1*m2=-1
m1=-1/5
substitute
(-1/5)*m2=-1
m2=5
step 3
Find the equation of the line with slope m=5 and y-intercept (0,1)
The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to
y=mx+b
we have
m=5
b=1
substitute
y=5x+1
