Question 775179: can someone please help me with this equation. "write the equation of the line. it passes through (-8,10) and is perpendicular to y=(5/2)x-3"
Answer by sofiyac(983) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the equation given has a slope of 5/2 which means the perpendicular slope to that one would be inverse and opposite sign so -2/5
y-10=(-2/5)(x+8)
y-10=(-2/5)x-16/5
