given:
---
point (6, -2)
slope perpendicular to: 5x = 7y - 4
---
7y = 5x + 4
y = (5/7)x + (4/7)
---
perpendicular slope = -(7/5) = -1.4
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (the given point and perpendicular slope):
6, -2, -1.4
into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
x-intercept = (4.57142857, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 6.4)
slope = -1.4
---
answer:
the slope-intercept form of our new line:
y = -1.4x + 6.4
