Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular

Writing 5x-2y=-6 in slope-intercept form:

$5x-2y=-6\\5x+6=2y\\\frac{5x+6}{2}=y\\y=\frac{5}{2}x +3$

The slope of the line is the number before "x", which is $\frac{5}{2}$ .

The slope of the perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal of this.

So the slope of perpendicular is $-\frac{2}{5}$ .

To find the equation of the perpendicular line, we need a point. It is given as (5,-4) where $x_{1}=5$ and $y_{1}=-4$ .

Now we use the point-slope form of a line to figure out the equation:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

Plugging in the values of $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ and $m=-\frac{2}{5}$ , gives us:

$y-(-4)=-\frac{2}{5}(x-5)\\y+4=-\frac{2}{5}x+2\\y+\frac{2}{5}x=2-4\\y+\frac{2}{5}x=-2$

Multiplying everything by 5 [to get rid of the denominator] and re-arranging gives us:

$y+\frac{2}{5}x=-2\\5y+2x=-10\\2x+5y=-10$ .

THIS IS THE SECOND OPTION.

ANSWER: 2x+5y=-10
