Answer:
y = -1/2x - 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x – 1
Current slope is 2, perpendicular is opposite inverse which is -1/2.
y-intercept through point (-5, 0):
y = mx + b
0 = -1/2(-5) + b
0 = 5/2 + b
b = -5/2
Use the perpendicular slope and b above to form new equation of line:
y = mx + b
y = -1/2x - 5/2
