We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
First, you combine like terms: x+3x=4x: 12+4x=18-2x
Second, you add the 2x to each side (inverse operation): 12+6x=18
Third, you subtract 12 from 18 to cancel out the 12 (inverse operation): 6x=6
Fourth, you divide each side by 6 to find the value of x
The answer is x=1
