\(5x-2y=11\\\\y=ax+b\\\\ Line\ is\ perpendicular when\ new\ a=-\frac{1}{a_1}\\\\ -2y=11-5x\ \ \ | divide\ by\ -2\\\\ \boxed{y=\frac{5}{2}x-\frac{11}{2}}\\\\Solution\ is\ D\)

Answer:

the answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=11

-5x to 5x and 11

-2y=-5x+11

divide -2 to -2, 5x, and 11

y= -5/2+11/-2

-5/2 is the slope but -2/5 is the slope of a line perpendicular
