What is the gradient of the line passing through the point (1,2) and (5,5)? What is the equation of this line? What is the equation of the line perpendicular to this line that passes through the origin (0,0)?

Gradient of initial line = 3/4 Equation of initial line : y= 3/4x + 5/4 (4y = 3x + 5) Equation of perpendicular line : y= -4/3x
