Which choice could be the equation of a line perpendicular to the line represented by this equation? y = 5x - 2A. B. y = 5x + 2C. D. y = - 5x + 5

5y = - * + c

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradient equals - 1.

We should note that the general equation of a line is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient.

For the line y = 5x - 2, the slope is 5. The line that will be perpendicular to this line will have a slope of - 1/5.

A line like 5y = - x + c fits the description
