The line given by the equation y=5x+2 is perpendicular to the line given by which of the equations below?
2 answers:
D
the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
y = 5x + 2 is in this form with m = 5
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
perpendicular slope = - = -
the only equation from the list with this slope is equation D
