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( "\"graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%28-5x%2F2%29%2C%282x%2F5%29%2B7%29\"
