Answer:
y - 5 = - [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex](x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Given
5x = 3y , that is
3y = 5x ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] x ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{5}{3} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] and (a, b) = (- 5, 5), then
y - 5 = - [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] (x - (- 5) ), that is
y - 5 = - [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] (x + 5) ← equation of perpendicular line
