given:
(-4,-2)
perpendicular to y=-4/5x+2
---
point = (-4,-2)
slope = 5/4 = 1.25
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (the given point and the perpendicular slope):
-4,-2,1.25
into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
x-intercept = (-2.4, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 3)
slope = 1.25
---
answer:
the slope-intercept form of our new line:
y = 1.25x + 3
