Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = -1/5x + 9 and passes through the point (-2, -2).
y = 5x + 8
y = -1/5x + 8
y = 5x - 8
y = 5x + 12
y = -1/5x + 12

y = 5x + 8
Reason: the slope of the given line is -1/5, so a perpendicular slope is 5. Using point (-2,-2): y + 2 = 5(x + 2) → y = 5x + 8.
