Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

Question

y - 4 = 5/2 (x + 3); (-7, 8)

Answer 1

the given line has slope 5/2
so, our new line will have slope -2/5
Now, we have a point and a slope, so using the point-slopr form, our new line is

y-8 = -2/5 (x+7)

Answer 2

Thank you so much!
