Answer:
y =-5/4x +11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope of the line
4x-5y = 10
Solve for y
Subtract 4x from each side
4x-4x-5y =-4x-10
-5y = -4x-10
Divide by -5
-5y/-5 = -4x/-5 -10/-5
y = 4/5x +2
The slope is 4/5
The slope of a line that is perpendicular is the negative reciprocal
m perpendicular = - (5/4)
We know have a slope = -5/4 and a point (2,3)
We can use the point slope form of a line
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-3 = -5/4 (x-2)
Distribute
y-3 =-5/4x +10/4
Add 3 to each side
y-3+3 = -5/4 x +5/2 +3
Get a common denominator
y = -5/4x +5/2 +6/2
y =-5/4x +11/2
