which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select three options.

y = –x – 2
2x + 5y = −10
2x − 5y = −10
y + 4 = –(x – 5)
y – 4 = (x + 5)

Respuesta :

Answer:

y+4=-(2/5)(x-5) ----> equation of the line into point slope form

y=-(2/5)x-2 ----> equation of the line into slope intercept form

2x+5y=-10 ----> equation of the line in standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

5x-2y=-6

isolate the variable y

2y=5x+6

y=2.5x+3

The slope m of the given line is m=2.5

step 2

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line

We know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are inverse reciprocal each other

so

m1=5/2

the inverse reciprocal is

m2=-2/5

step 3

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-2/5

point (5,-4)

substitute

y+4=-(2/5)(x-5) ----> equation of the line into point slope form

y=-(2/5)x+2-4

y=-(2/5)x-2 ----> equation of the line into slope intercept form

Multiply by 5 both sides

5y=-2x-10

2x+5y=-10 ----> equation of the line in standard form

The equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4) are as follows:

[tex]y+4=-\frac{2}{5}(x-5)[/tex]  

[tex]y=-\frac{2}{5}x-2[/tex]

2x + 5y = - 10

Perpendicular line

Perpendicular lines follows the mathematical principle below.

  • m₁m₂ = -1

where

m₁ and m₂ are slopes.

Therefore, using slope intercept form,

y = mx + b

where

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Therefore,

5x - 2y = -6

-2y = -5x - 6

y =  5 / 2 x + 3

The slope is 5 / 2 x

Applying perpendicular rule,

5 / 2m₂ = - 1

m₂ = - 2 / 5

Passing through (5, -4)

-4 = -2/5 (5) + b

-4 + 2 = b

b = - 2

Therefore, the equation is [tex]y=-\frac{2}{5}x-2[/tex]. It can be simplified as follows

5y = -2x - 10

Therefore,

2x + 5y = - 10

using y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)  it will be as follows:

[tex]y+4=-\frac{2}{5}(x-5)[/tex]
