If you mean a slope of -2 passing through (5, 0) then the equation is y = -2x+10

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. First we need to find the slope m of the line with equation y - x = 6. So, y - x = 6 add x to both sides to turn the equation into the slope-intercept form y = x + 6 We know that the slope is the coefficient of the variable x, so the slope is 1. So the line that passes through (5,0) and parallel to the given line has also slope 1. Using the point (5, 0) = (x1, y1) and m = 1, we write the point-slope form of the equation of the required line, (y - y1) = m(x - x1) substitute the known values (y - 0) = 1(x - 5) y = x + 5 subtract x to both sides to turn this equation into the general form y - x = 5 Thus, the line that passes through (5,0) and parallel to the given line has the equation y - x = 5.
Without an equality sign and not knowing some of the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation. But if you mean: y = 12x-3 a given point of (5, 0) Then the perpendicular equation is: y = -1/12x+5/12 whereas -1/12 is the slope and 5/12 is the y intercept
Gradient of given line is 2.1/5 = 21/50 So gradient (slope) of perpendicular is -50/21 = -2.381 (to 3 dp)
Yes. This represents a line with a slope of 1 which intersects the axis at {l:50, w:0} and {l:0, w:50}
The graph is a straight line, with a slope of 40, passing through the point y=50 on the y-axis.
