Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Check all that apply.y = –x – 22x + 5y = −102x − 5y = −10y + 4 = –(x – 5)y – 4 = (x + 5)
Question
Answer:
Find the slope of the line first:5x - 2y = -6,
y = (5/2)x + 3;
Since we need a line that's perpendicular, m = - (2/5).
The only equation that has the slope of this m is 2x + 5y = -10;
