Write the equation of the line which passes through $(1, –2)$ and is perpendicular to the line with equation $5y – x = 1$. I know that I need to put the equation into slope-intercept form but what is the step that I take after this. $$y = \frac 1 5 x + \frac 1 5$$ I read something about the negative reciprocal but that isn't working for me. Also, here are the possible answers: a. $5x + y = 3$ ANSWER b. $5x – y = 1$ c. $x + 5y = –2$ d. $x – 5y = 3$ $\endgroup$ Recommended textbooks for you Algebra and Trigonometry (6th Edition) Contemporary Abstract Algebra Publisher:Cengage Learning Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction Publisher:Cengage Learning Algebra And Trigonometry (11th Edition) Introduction to Linear Algebra, Fifth Edition Publisher:Wellesley-Cambridge Press College Algebra (Collegiate Math) Author:Julie Miller, Donna Gerken Publisher:McGraw-Hill Education Algebra and Trigonometry (6th Edition) ISBN:9780134463216 Author:Robert F.
