If y = mx + b is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y = 5x – 2, what is the value of m?

Answer:
A.) -1/5 i hope this helps! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
y = 5x - 2
the perpindicular line to y = 5x - 2
you have to flip the 5x to be a negative and flip it to 1 over 5
y = -1/5x - 2 is perpendicular to the line y = 5x - 2
