Product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1
i.e. \((m_1)(m_2) = -1\)
\((\frac{-1}{5})(m_2) = -1\)
\(m_2 = 5\)
Applying slope formula;
\(5 = \frac{(e - 7)}{(5 - f)}\)
\(25 - 5f = e - 7\)
\(e = -5f + 32\)
Hence, option B

โงโงโง Detailed Video Explanation to the Problem โงโงโง
Given that the points (5, e) and (f, 7) are on a line that is perpendicular to the graph of the line \(y=-\frac{1}{5}x + 12\). We need to express e in terms of f.
\(y=-\frac{1}{5}x + 12\)
=> Slope of the line =ย \(-\frac{1}{5}\)
We know that if two lines are perpendicular then product of their slopes = -1
=> Slope of the perpendicular line *ย \(-\frac{1}{5}\) = -1
=> Slope of the perpendicular line = 5
Now, the line passes through the pointsย (5, e) and (f, 7)
=> Slope =ย \(\frac{7 - e}{f - 5}\) = 5
=> 7 - e = 5f - 25
=> e = 32 - 5f = -5f + 32
So, Answer will be B
Hope it helps!

=> e = 32 - 5f = -5f + 32
So, Answer will be B
