What is the slope of the perpendicular lines? y = - 5/2x - 8

A) y = - 5x
B) y = 5x
C) y = x - 5

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

slope= 1

y-inter slope= 0

x       y

o     0

1       1

2     2

ect.
