Question

PLEASE HELP ME!

the equation of line m is 4x+5y=−2. What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to line m?
Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

My answer was not -4/5 it was 5/4

Explanation:

Answer 2

m = - 4/5

Explanation:

y=mx+B

this is when you subtract 4x from both sides.

5y=-4x+2

now divide by each term and simplify

y=-4x/5 + 2/5

rewrite the slope-intercept form

y=-4/5 X + 2/5

(the X isn't apart of the 4 now its apart of the 4/5)

So since in y+mx+b (M being the slope)

in y=-4/5x+2/5 The (M or slope) is -4/5

So your answer is -4/5
