Question 997680: Can you please help me with this question? Write an equation for the line that passes through (5, -4) and is perpendicular to the graph of 5x-2y=-6. this is my work so far:
2y=5x+6 then y=5/2 x + 3
I can't figure out how to find the perpendicular equation. Can you please help me with this part?
Thanks! Found 2 solutions by josgarithmetic, MathTherapy:Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source):
Slope?
What do you know about slopes of perpendicular lines?
Do you want to know y-intercept for the line you are looking for? Do you like to use the point-slope form equation for a line?
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Your equation is correct! Good job!!
The equation that's perpendicular to will have a slope, or m of:
Using the slope, or , the point: (5, - 4), and the point-slope form: , we get:
Perpendicular equation is then: , or
