Write an equation for the line perpendicular to y = 6x - 5 that contains (2, 10). a y-10= -1/6(x-2) b. x-10= 6(y -2) c. y-2= -1/6(x-10) d. y-10= 6(x-2)

ANSWER

A.



EXPLANATION

The given line is



The slope of this line is


The slope of the line perpendicular to it is



The reason is that, the two slopes are negative reciprocal of each other.

The given line passes through,



We use the formula,



where m is the slope.

We substitute the values to get the equation of the required line to be



The correct answer is A.
