Write the equation of a line in - form that contains the point (- 1, - 2) and is perpendicular to the line y = 5x - 10 degrees

y+2= -1/5(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

if lines are perpendicular their slopes are negative reciprocal

y=mx+b where m is the slope

y=5x-10 has the slope 5 so a perpendicular line will have slope -1/5

equation point slope form

(y-y1) = m(x-x1) where m is slope, and (x1,y1) any point that belongs to the line

y+2= -1/5(x+1)
