Question

Find the equation of a line which passes through point (1, 7) and is perpendicular to the line formed by the equation -2x + -10y = -9. Express it in slope-intercept form y = 5x - 2 y= -5x - 2
y = -5x + 2 y = 5x + 2

Answer 1

\[-2x-10y=-9\]?

Answer 2

y = 5x +2

Answer 3

slope is
\[-\frac{1}{5}\] so your slope is 5

Answer 4

so it is either
\[y=5x-2\] or
\[y=5x+2\] and since (1,7) is on the line it must be
\[y=5x+2\] since that is the one that works
