Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y=-2/5x+4/5

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

recall for a line whose equation is

y = mx + b,

the slope of this line is m

the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line is -$\frac{1}{m}$

in this case,

m = -$\frac{2}{5}$

hence -$\frac{1}{m}$=$\frac{5}{2}$
