which equation is the equation of a line that passes through (-10 3) and is perpendicular to y=5x-7

y=5x+53
y=-1/5x-7
y=-1/5x+1
y=1/5x+5

pls help? thanks

slope of given line is 5
so the slope of the perpendicular line has to be -1/5
so it could only be B) or C)
but (-10,3) satisfies only equation C)
so C
Yes, thanks Reiny:)
