: The problem is---Through (2, -7); perpendicular to 5x+2y=18
I am supposed to find an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions, and then write the equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)
Thank you! This question is from textbook Intermediate Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5X+2Y=18 OR 2Y=-5X+18 OR Y=-2.5X+9 OR THE PERPENDICULAR LINE WOULD BE
Y=.4X+b SUBSTITUTING 2 FOR X & -7 FOR Y WE GET -7=.4*2+b OR -7=.8+b OR b=-7.8
THUS THE LINE IS Y=.4X-7.8
