What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 5y+2x=12?
a. 5/2
b. −2/5
c. −5/2
d. 2/5

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 5y + 2x = 12 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

5y = - 2x + 12 ( divide all terms by 5 )

y = - + ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = - = → A

it would not be increasing by nothing that i can see probably by 25 percent that is all i can sat\y for now if i have any thing else to say i will edit this.

step-by-step explanation:

i think the answer is c sorry if it's wrong
