y-3= -1/5x (+2); (-2,7)
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you are given a line with slope = ,
then ANY line perpendicular to the given line
will have slope =
-------------------------------------
You are given:
( is this it? Is there a typo? )

The slope is:
Any line perpendicular to this line has slope:

-----------------
The line you are looking for passes through (-2,7 )
Use the general point-slope formula:

answer
----------------------
check:
does the line go through (-2,7) ?

OK
Here is a plot of the 2 lines:
