Question

yall pls help i would be very happy :)) Ill also give brainliest!
Which equation below would be perpendicular to the line x=5
a. y = 1/5x
b. y = 3
c. x =2
d. y = -5x

Answer 1

I believe it’s d because perpendicular mean you flip it and change the sign

Answer 2

Answer:

A) y=1/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Coz, the way you identify a perpendicular line is by looking for its negative reciprocal. The neagtive reciprocal of 5= 1/5

Now, to check the ans we can multiply the negative reciprocal by "m"

(m in y=mx+c or y=mx+b)

in this case the "m" is stated as 5, so all we need to do is  1/5*5 if the ans is 1 then your ans is right....and over here it is

So thats how you identify & check perpendicular lines!
