Which equation is the equation of a line that passes through (-10,3) and is perpendicular to y=5x-7? A) y=5x+53 B) y= -1/5x-7 C) y=-1/5x+1 D) y=1/5x+5

First figure out the slope. How does a slope perpendicular to another look like?

I am a mom that is trying to figure out

Well, a perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope. So if the slope is 5, then the slope perpendicular to it is the negative of that, which is -5, and then the reciprocal which is -1/5
