Since the line will be perpendicular the slope will be the opposite reciprocal of -1/5 which is 5. Using the ordered pair (0,0) we know the y intercept will be 0, so y= 5x is the equation

Line k: y=-1/5x-1/8          This is in y=mx+b form or slope-intercept form.
For a perpendicular line you switch the reciprocal of the slope. So, instead of -1/5x for the slope, it would be 5. The (b) part represents the y intercept so you would change it to 0. Here is the new equation: y=5x-0.
