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

Round 219.870754015 to the nearest hundred.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you are rounding to the hundreds, you look at the tens place. The tens place is a "1" and 1 is below five, so you round down to 200.
