Please note that there are infinitely many solutions. The slopes of two perpendicular lines have a product of minus 1. The line is in slope-intercept form, so it is easy to read off the slope: -5. The line perpendicular to it must have a slope of -1 / -5, or 1/5. In other words, the equation of the perpendicular line is y = (1/5)x + c; you can replace c with any number you want.

Can y be negative on y equals mx plus b?

That's the equation of a straight line. Unless the line is horizontal (for m = 0), the y-coordinate of the line will always be positive for part of the line, and negative for another part of the line.

What is a positive and negative value for M in the formula y equals Mx plus B?

The formula y=Mx + B is the slope intercept equation of a line. If you where to graph this on a 2 dimensional graph with x and y axes the number represented by M would be the slope of the line. A positive value of M would mean a positive slope and the line will rise as one views it from left to right. A negative value of M would indicate a negative slope and the line will descend as one views it from left to right. A value of zero for M would indicate a horizontal line.
