Answer:

A. y = 5/2x – 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line parallel to  y = 5 /2 x − 10 .

y = 5 /2 x − 14                PARALLEL

...................................................................................................................................................

Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line perpendicular to  y = 5 /2 x − 10 .

y = − 2 /5 x − 157 /5                        PERPENDICULAR
