5. if there is a line that says for instance y= 5x the answer on how to graph it would be the slope is the fraction. How far it "rises" on the graph, over how far it "runs" goes to the right or left. ( the answer is 5/1 or it rises 5 spaces on the graph and it goes to the right one) If a slope is negative it goes to the left. Also if it was y= 5x +3 it would do the same thing as before, but instead of starting from the origin (0,0) it would start at +3 and go from there.

y - x5 is an expression, not an equation. Furthermore, it is polynomial of order 5 and a non-linear function cannot be expressed in slope-intercept form.
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
The slope of a line is undefined if the line is vertical.
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with slope m is -1/m. So for a line with slope 1/7, any line perpendicular to it will have: slope = -1 / (1/7) = -7
A vertical line has a slope of infinity.
