Write the equation of the line that passes through (2 5) and perpendicular to the line 2y-3x=5. Write the answer in standard form.

\n" ); document.write( "equation of a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "given line:
\n" ); document.write( "2y-3x=5
\n" ); document.write( "2y=3x+5
\n" ); document.write( "y=(3-2)x+5/2
