I do not know how to do this

AngeI:

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation is 5y=10+2x ?

Vocaloid:

fist calculate the slope of 5y = 10 + 2x start by dividing both sides by 5

AngeI:

even the 2x?

Vocaloid:

yes, everything

AngeI:

y=2+.4x?

Vocaloid:

Rewrite the slope as a fraction Then take the negative reciprocal

AngeI:

y= -1/2+ 2/5?

Vocaloid:

So the slope is 2/5 Switch the numerator and denominator the. Multiply it by -1

AngeI:

-5/2

Vocaloid:

Good that's it
