Algebra.Com's Answer #612766 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope of the line 2y+5x=0 is \n" ); document.write( "2y=-5x \n" ); document.write( "y=-5x/2. \n" ); document.write( "The line perpendicular to that has a slope of 2/5, the negative reciprocal of the above slope. \n" ); document.write( "now use point slope formula \n" ); document.write( "y-y1=(2/5)(x-x1) \n" ); document.write( "y-3=(2/5)(x+10) (watch sign here) \n" ); document.write( "y-3=2x/5+4 \n" ); document.write( "y=(2/5)x+7 \n" ); document.write( " |
