Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (-5, -1) and is perpendicular to y = 5/2x + 2

Answer 1

Please Help

Answer 2

the line \(y=\frac{5}{2}x+2\) has slope \(\frac{5}{2}\)
the perpendicular line will therefore have slope \(-\frac{2}{5}\) the "negative reciprocal

Answer 3

So the slope is -2/5?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

So would it be y=-2/5x-3
