Question

I Need Help Plzzzzz!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line perpendicular, you take the reciprocal of the slope of the first line and multiply by -1. So a line with slope $\frac{1}{2}$ is perpendicular to a line with slope -$\frac{2}{1}$.

In your case, the slope of the line perpendicular is going to be $-\frac{5}{2}$. So yoo know your equation will look like y=$-\frac{5}{2}$x+b. To solve for b, plug in the x and y-coordinates:

$-2=-\frac{5}{2}(2)+b$

b=3

So your final answer is y=$\bold{-\frac{5}{2}}$x+3. Answer D is correct.
