Question 852385: Write an equation of the line perpendicular to the line given by 2x+3y=7 and having the same y-intercept as the line given by 5x+2y=10.
3y=-2x+7
y=0.667x+2.33
y-intercept of line
5x+2y=10
2y=-5x+10
y=(-5/2)x+5
y=5 m=2/3

Your work looks mostly good but you did not continue.
You found the slope for the given equation as 2%2F3. What must you know about the slopes of lines perpendicular in the plane? You are looking for some equation highlight_green%28y=mx%2B5%29, but you must find the correct value for m.
