Answer:
y=-5x+14
Step-by-step explanation:
x-5y=9
x-9=5y
y=[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]x-[tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex]
The slope for this line is: 1/5
The product of the slopes of any two perpendicular lines equals -1.
So the slope for the perpendicular line will be -5.
The point-slope formula=
Given slope m and a point on the line: (X, Y), the equation of the line will be:
y-Y=m(x-X)
So the equation for the perpendicular should be:
y-4=(-5)(x-2)
Simplify:
y-4=-5x+10
y=-5x+14
