Answer:
7/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first we need to put,
2x + 7y = 5,
into slope intercept
-2x
7y = -2x + 5
Divide y to all numbers
y = -2/7x + 5/7
So the slope for the given line is -2/7,
the slope of the line that is perpendicular to it is its reciprocal.
Meaning the slope of the perpendicular line is 7/2.
Thus,
the slope of the perpendicular line is 7/2x.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
The slope of the perpendicular line is 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+7y=5
Solve for y to find the slope
2x-2x+7y=5-2x
7y = -2x+5
Divide by 7
7y/7 = -2/7 x +5/7
y = -2/7x + 5/7
The slope is -2/7
The slope of perpendicular lines multiply to -1
m * -2/7 = -1
Multiply each side by -7/2
m * -2/7 *-7/2 = -1 * -7/2
m = 7/2
The slope of the perpendicular line is 7/2
