Algebra-1

To find the graph that is perpendicular to the line given by , we need to determine the line with a slope that is the negative reciprocal of .

 

Given Equation: Slope m =

 

Perpendicular Slope:

The negative reciprocal of is −5.

 

Analysis of Options:

A. Slope calculation using points (0, −6) and (5, −5):

 

This slope does not match −5, so this graph is not perpendicular.

 

B. Slope calculation using points (0, −5) and (5, −6):
