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.
