Answer:
[tex]y = 5x + 1[/tex] and [tex]y = 5x + 2[/tex] are two equations of lines that are perpendicular to the line whose equation is x + 5y = 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line:
The equation of a line has the following format:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Perpendicular lines:
If two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.
In this question:
The equation of the line is:
[tex]x + 5y = 50[/tex]
Placing in the standard format:
[tex]5y = -x + 50[/tex]
[tex]y = -\frac{x}{5} + 10[/tex]
The slope is [tex]-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Slope of the perpendicular lines:
[tex]-\frac{m}{5} = -1[/tex]
[tex]m = 5[/tex]
So
[tex]y = 5x + b[/tex]
Attributing two values to b:
[tex]y = 5x + 1[/tex] and [tex]y = 5x + 2[/tex] are two equations of lines that are perpendicular to the line whose equation is x + 5y = 50.
