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

-------

Would it be -5/2 as in only the 5 is negative or the whole fraction is negative?

Answer: The slope of the line would be -5/2, and the whole fraction would be negative.

Explanation:

Technically just the 5 is negative because the new slope is going down 5, yet on paper its just safer to write the whole fraction as a negative.
