Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're asking for the equation of a line that goes through (1,-5) and is perpendicular to y=18x+26 here's what you do.
1. find the slope of the new line by taking the negative reciprocal of the slope of the first line ([tex]-\frac{1}{18}[/tex])
2. plug in the point (1,-5) and the new slope into the point slope form equation
[tex]y_{2} -y_{1}=m(x_{2}-x_{1})[/tex]
3.Now that you have y-(-5)= -1/18(x-1) simplify
3.a y-(-5)= -1/18x + 1/18
3.b y=-1/18x - 89/18
4. final equation you get is y = -1/18 - 89/18
