Hi
<i>Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b 
 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept</i> 
__________________________________________________________________________
equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=-2/5x-5 and passes through the point 6,1
New Line:  slope = 5/2 (Negative reciprocal of -2/5)
 y = (5/2)x + b
 1 = (5/2)6 + b
 -14 = b
 y = (5/2)x -14
