You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the given conditions to write an equation for each line in point-slope form.
Passing through (2, -3) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is y = 1/5 x + 6.
***
point-slope form of equation: (y1-y2)=m(x1-x2), m=slope
given equation: (1/5)x+6
slope=1/5
slope of perpendicular line=-5 (negative reciprocal)
equation of perpendicular line:
y-(-3)=-5(x-2)
y+3=-5x+10
