Question

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

A. y = two fifthsx + 1

B. y = -five halvesx - 27 halves

C. y = -two fifthsx - 3

D. y = five halvesx + 23 halves

Answer 1

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

A parallel line has the same slope.
A perpendicular line has a negative inverse slope.
Use the point-slope formula to create the new equation.

Answer 3

@gypsy1274 SO THAT ANSWER WOULD BE A IF I DID THE STEPS RIGHT

Answer 4

I don't think so. That's not what I got. Try using the equation editor and show me your work.

Answer 5

@gypsy1274 I took a second look at your steps and the answer isnt A I WOULD BE C

Answer 6

Now you've got it! Great job!

Answer 7

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = -one halfx + 5.

y = -2x + 2

y = 2x - 14

y = one halfx - 8

y = -one halfx - 4

IF IM RIGHT THE ANSWER IS "D"
