Find the slope of a line that has the given relationship to the given line. If the slope is undefined, state this.
-Perpendicular to $y = - \frac { 1 } { 5 } x - 6$
A) $- \frac { 1 } { 5 }$
B) 5
C) $\frac { 1 } { 5 }$
D) $- 5$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of the original line's slope. Since the slope of the given line is $-\frac{1}{5}$, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is $5$.
