I'm just gonna so you how I got it
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - 3y - 5 = 0 has slope 6/3 = 2. A perpendicular line will have slope -1/2 (since slopes of two perpendicular lines must have a product of -1), so its general form will be 3x + 6y - a = 0.
Now to find a. We know a point on the line, (4,10), and so we plug those coordinates in:
3*4 + 6*10 - a = 0
12 + 60 - a = 0
72 = a
3x + 6y - 72 = 0.
We can simplify this by dividing all numbers by 3, getting:
x + 2y - 24 = 0
