Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (1, -5) and perpendicular to y =1/5 x - 10.
y = 5x + 10

y = 5x

y = -5x - 10

y = -5x

Answer 1

y =1/5 x - 10

what is the slope of the equation I wrote?

Answer 2

i dnt know

Answer 3

the slope is 1/5

Answer 4

we know that the slope of the equation is 1/5 but we also know that any line perpendicular to that will have a negative reciprocal slope


What is the negative reciprocal of 1/5?

Answer 5

-5

Answer 6

@jaacre Please stop answering. You are not the one who asked the question

Answer 7

y= -5x - 10

Answer 8

@kibrelle why did you pick that answer?

Answer 9

because when i worked it out thats what i got and im pretty sure i didnt miss a step

Answer 10

(1, -5)

plug that point to the answer you choose. Does the equation make sense when you plug that point in?

Answer 11

i guess so

Answer 12

Show me the work then

Answer 13

@RyanL. im not i the mood so no need for rudeness and y=-5x-10 (1, -5)

Answer 14

@RyanL. sorry this part was nt ment for u wrote it in the wrong spot mb im not i the mood so no need for rudeness

Answer 15

I'm not being rude I'm asking your to show me why you think your answer is right by showing your work.

Answer 16
