Problem

A line L1L_1 cuts the y-axis at (0,5)(0,5) and the x-axis at (−5,0)(-5,0). Another line L2L_2 passes through the point (1,4)(1,4) and is perpendicular to L1L_1. a. (i) Find the slope of L1L_1. b. (ii) Hence, determine the slope of L2L_2. c. (iii) Obtain the equation of L2L_2 in slope–intercept form. d. (iv) Rewrite the same equation in point–slope form using the point (1,4)(1,4). e. (v) Calculate the points where L2L_2 meets the x-axis and the y-axis.
