Re: Line A is perpendicular to the line with the equation [#permalink]

Line A is perpendicular to the line with the equation \(y = - \frac{1}{5} x\) , and the point (3, -10) is on line A. Which of the following is the equation of line A?

A. \(y = - \frac{1}{5} x -\frac{47}{5}\)

B. \(y = \frac{1}{5} x - \frac{53}{5}\)

C. \(y = 5x\)

D. \(y = 5x - 5\)

E. \(y = 5x - 25\)


Slope of perpendicular lines = m1 * m2 = -1

m1 = -(1/5)

Slope of m2 = 5

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

equate (x1, y1) with (3, -10);
