Question

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line

that passes through the point (2,-2) and is
perpendicular to the line represented by y = 2/5x+2

Answer 1

-5/2x+3

Explanation:

Answer 2

-5/2x+3

Explanation:

you reciprocate the slope since you are trying to find a line perpendicular.

From this m=2/5 to -5/2

then use the formula y-y1 =m(x-x1)

then you put in the points

y - - 2= -5/2(x- 2)

y+2= -5/2x +5

-2 -2

y= -5/2+ 3
