x + 7y = 7 is y = -(1/7)x + 1
So, any line perpendicular to this line has a slope = 7
So, the equation is y = 7x + 5 since the intercept is 5
Putting it into the standard form we have y - 7x = 5
Christian L.
asked 09/16/19the equation of the line in the form ax+by=c with y intercept 5 and perpendicular to x+7y=7
x + 7y = 7 is y = -(1/7)x + 1
So, any line perpendicular to this line has a slope = 7
So, the equation is y = 7x + 5 since the intercept is 5
Putting it into the standard form we have y - 7x = 5
