What is the perpendicular slope to the line -2y - 5x = 10?

Hey there,

We know that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocal of the original slope.

The first step would be to make the equation into slope intercept form:

Now we just find the negative reciprocal of the original equation which would be .

So the perpendicular slope of the line -2y - 5x = 10 would be .

Hope I helped,
