Question 534274: write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x-5y=10 and passes through points (2,4) Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The slope intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+b.
.
2x -5y = 10
-5y = -2x +10
y = 2/5*x -2
.
The line perpendicular to this line will have a slope = inverse reciprocal: -5/2.
.
y = -5/2*x + b
.
Use the point (2,4) to find 'b'.
.
4 = -5/2*2 + b
4 + 5 = b
b = 9
.
y = -5/2*x + 9
.
