Question

Write the slope-intercept equation of the line perpendicular to y = 5/2 x - 2, which passes through the point (0, 2).
A. y = 5x + 2
B. y = -2/5x + 2
C. y = 2x + 5
D. y = 1/2x + 5

Answer 1

First, we want to look at our equation, which is already in slope-intercept form

Answer 2

Its B.. because the slope a line perpendicular to it will have slope equal to its negative reciprocal

Answer 3
