Find an equation for the line with the given properties.
-Perpendicular to the line -2x - 5y = -3; y-intercept = 5
A) -2x - 5y = -25
B) -5x + 2y = -25
C) -5x + 2y = 10
D) -2x - 5y = -10

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The line perpendicular to -2x - 5y = -3 has a slope of 2/5. The y-intercept is 5. So the equation of the line is y = (2/5)x + 5, which can be rewritten as -5x + 2y = 10.
