Qt A
Line: \(5y-x=2\)
When converting into \(y = mx + c\), where \(m =\) slope, we will get
\(y = \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{2}{5}\)
Slope = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Hence, the slope of the perpendicular line will be \(-5\)
Qt A = Qt B
Answer C
Line: \(5y-x=2\)

\(y = \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{2}{5}\)
Slope = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
