There are two points 'A' and 'B' on a graph, their coordinates are (0,1) and (10,6) respectively. 1)Find the equation of the line that runs through both of these points.2)Find the equation of a line perpendicular to this through point 'B'.

Draw a graph to see the question more clearly.1) Find the slope using the rise over run formula. ( m = 1/2 )Put this slope into the equation of a line formula along with one of the points. ( y = (1/2)*x + 1 )2) To find perpendicular the slope must be the opposite, therefore *-1. ( m = -1/2 )Put this new slope into the equation of a line formula along with point 'B'. ( y = -(1/2)*x + 11 )
