Answer:

A. y = –5x – 27

Step-by-step explanation:

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  − x + 5 y = 14 .

y = − 5 x − 27      PERPENDICULAR

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  − x + 5 y = 14 .

y = 1 /5 x − 1                PARALLEL
