Which choice could be the equation of a line perpendicular to the line represented by this equation? y = 5x− 2
1 answer:
Answer:
Option A. y= -1/5x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the given line
we have
y=5x-2
The slope m is
m=5
step 2
Find the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line
Remember that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)
m1*m2=-1
we have
m1=5
(5)*m2=-1
m2=-1/5
therefore
The equation of a line perpendicular to the given line could be
y= -1/5x + 5

That is your answer!! Any questions??
Answer:
4(x^2 +10 +21)
4(x+3)(x+7) = 0
Smaller
4(x+7) = 0
4x +28 = 0
4x = -28
x = -28/4
x = -7
Larger
4(x+3) = 0
4x + 12 = 0
4x =-12
x = -12 / 4
x = -3
