Answer:
y = ²/₅
x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Changing to slope-intercept form:
5x + 2y = 12 {subtract 5x from both sides}
2y = -5x + 12 {divide both sides by 2}
y = -⁵/₂
x + 6
y=m₁x+b₁ ⊥ y=m₂x+b₂ ⇔ m₁×m₂ = -1
{Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1}
y =-⁵/₂
x + 1 ⇒ m₁ = -⁵/₂
-⁵/₂×
m₂ = -1 ⇒ m₂ = ²/₅
So, any line perpendicular to 5x + 2y = 12 must have slope m =²/₅
