Answer:

D) y = -5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, they have opposite slopes.

The first line is y = 1/5x + 5. Its slope is 1/5. A line parallel/perpendicular to this one will have a slope of -5.

Plug this value (#) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = -5x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (2, -5). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

-5 = -5(2) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (2)

-5 = -10 + b

Now, add 10 to both sides to isolate b.

5 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -5x + 5

This equation is parallel/perpendicular to your given equation (y = 1/5x + 5) and contains point (2, -5)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(^6√x^5) (√y)

(The 6 belongs in the left on top of the square root btw)

For x the 6 moves to the front of the square root while the 5 becomes the power of x.

For y, the power to the 1/2 is the same as a square root.
