perpendicular 2x+5y+2=0

perpendicular

2 x + 5 y + 2 = 0

y = \frac{5}{2} x + b

Solution steps

Find the slope of

2 x + 5 y + 2 = 0 : m = - \frac{2}{5}

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = \frac{5}{2}

Line with slope m=

\frac{5}{2} : y = \frac{5}{2} x + b

y = \frac{5}{2} x + b
