Compare the equation with Slope-intercept form line equation
.
Slope of the given line is .
Since the slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals.
\The slope of the perpendicular line is .
Find the y-intercept value by replacing the slope with and (x, y) with ordered pair (2, -5).
(Substitute
for m)
(Substitute 2, -5 for x, y)
(Multiply:
)
(Add 8 to each side)
(Commutative property:
