(6,-5);
2x+2y=5
add -2x
2x-2x+2y=-2x +5
2y= -2x+5
divide by 2
y= -x+5/2
this is of the form
y = mx +b
compare the equations
slope m = -1
.
the require line is perpendicular to this line with slope -1
so the slope will be 1
..
y = mx +b
plug value of (6,-5)
-5=1*6+b
-5=6+b
so b = -11
the required equation will be slope 1 and b = -11
y=x-11
