Question

A line perpendicular
to y=5x+2

Answer 1

5 x + 2

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = (-1/5)x + 2

Explanation:

A line perpendicular to y = 5x + 2 would have a flipped opposite slope. Note the slope in the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

Flip the slope:

y = 5x + 2

y = (-1/5)x + 2

y = (-1/5)x + 2 is your answer.
