perpendicular to 5x-2 means a slope of -1/5.
is Point-Slope Form using -1/5 slope and point (6,3)

1. Determine the slope of the given line, g(x)
2. Calculate the negative reciprocal of the slope from step 1.
3. Use the Point-Slope form of a with the negative reciprocal slope calculated in step 2 and the given point to write a linear function representing the graph of the desired line.
where and are the coordinates of the given point and is the calculated slope.
