Question

Which equation below would be perpendicular to the line y = 2?

Answer 1

I believe that the answer is Y=1/5x

Answer 2

Answer:
A) y=1/5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Coz, the way you identify a perpendicular line is by looking for its negative reciprocal. The neagtive reciprocal of 5= 1/5
Now, to check the ans we can multiply the negative reciprocal by "m"
(m in y=mx+c or y=mx+b)
in this case the "m" is stated as 5, so all we need to do is 1/5*5 if the ans is 1 then your ans is right....and over here it is
So thats how you identify & check perpendicular lines!
