Question

ANYONE IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!!!

Answer 1

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal lines.

y = mx + b
the m represents the slope
the opposite reciprocal of 2/5 is -5/2
y = -5/2x + b
to solve the rest of the problem, you will need to plug in your x and y coordinates.
-2 = -5/2(2) + b
-2 = -10/2 + b
-2 = -5 + b
Add 5 to both sides.
b = 3

This means your equation is...
y = -5/2x + 3

Answer 2

Y= -5/2x+3

Explanation:

A perpendicular slope is always opposite (meaning if the original is negative, then it is positive and vice versa) and reciprocal (meaning the numerator and denominator of the original are flipped).

The y intercept I found by applying the slope to the point given.
