perpendicular y=-5/2 x-8

perpendicular

y = - \frac{5}{2} x - 8

y = \frac{2}{5} x + b

Solution steps

Find the slope of

y = - \frac{5}{2} x - 8 : m = - \frac{5}{2}

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = \frac{2}{5}

Line with slope m=

\frac{2}{5} : y = \frac{2}{5} x + b

y = \frac{2}{5} x + b

What is the perpendicular y=-5/2 x-8 ?
The perpendicular y=-5/2 x-8 is y= 2/5 x+b
