Which of the following is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the graph of y = 25x − 1? A. y = 25x − 4
B. y = −52x − 4
C. y = −25x − 4
D. y = 52x −

From the given option the slope of the line -5/2 is shown by the equation     that is option B) and this can be determined by using the slope-intercept form.

Given :

Equation --         ---- (1)

First, determine the slope of the given line by using the slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept is given by the equation:

y = mx + c

Now, compare equation (1) with the above equation.

c = -1

For a line to be perpendicular to the other line the product of the slope of both the line is equal to -1, that is:

So, the slope of the line perpendicular to the line  is:

So, from the given option the slope of the line -5/2 is shown by the equation     that is option B).
