Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!!!
Here,
Given, A line passes through point (2,-2) and is perpendicular to the y= 5x+2.
The equation of a straight line passing through point is,
Now, put all values.
It is the 1st equation.
Another equation is;
y = 5x +2........(2nd equation).
Now, Comparing it with y = mx + c, we get;
m2=5
As per the condition of perpendicular lines,
m1×m2= -1
m1 × 5 = -1
Therefore, m2= -1/5.
Keeping the value of m1 in 1st equation.
Simplify them.
Therefore the required equation is x+5y+8= 0.
