15:24 is divisible by 3, simplifying it down to 3:8. 19:24, 7:8, and 6:8 are all obviously larger than this ratio, and 1:2 can be equalized to 4:8, which is also bigger than 3:8, so none of the answer choices are less than 15:24.

Answer:
The third choice is the one you want
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign. Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:
2x + y = -5 so
y = -2x - 5
The slope is -2. That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2. Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y. Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:

Getting rid of the double negatives gives us:

Distributing then gives us:

And finally solving for y (I am going to express the 2 on the left as 4/2 when I move it by subtraction in order to add those fractions):

And the final equation in slope-intercept form is:

Slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(10-0)/(10-8) = 10/2 = 5
The slope is 5
