Answer:

D) a = - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y - 7 = 0

5y = 2x - 7

y = 2/5 x - 7

the slope of this line is therefore 2/5 (factor of x).

the perpendicular slope is then (exchange y and x and flip the sign) -5/2, which is then a and the factor of x.

So, we'd do a proportion.

2/5=x/6

Cross multiply.

5x=12

Divide by sides by 5.

x=2.4

We round up to account for the .4

so b
