What is the equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the point (2,2) and is perpendicular to the line represented by y=2/5x + 2

Respuesta :

Answer:

y=

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular means opposite reciprocal of the slope. This means that the slope would change from 2/5 to 5/2 and add a negative, so it is -5/2.

y=-5/2x+b

2=-5/2 (2) +b

7=b

y=-5/2x+7
