Respuesta :

perpendicular lies have negative reciprocal slopes

M=5  so m=-1/5

Choice D

D

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = 5x + 2 is in this form with m = 5

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

perpendicular slope = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

the only equation from the list with this slope is equation D
