write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line nad that passes through the given point. y-3=-1/5(x +2); (-2, 7)

Answer 1

y-3=-1/5(x +2); (-2, 7)

y = -(1/5)x - 2/5 + 3

y = -(1/5)x + 13/5

A perpendicular line will have a slope opposite in sign and inverse: 5

y = 5x + b

7 = 5(-2) + b

b = 17

y = 5x + 17
