A line passes through the point (-2, 4) and originally has the equation 5x + 2y = 3.. is the answer for the equation of the perpendicular line y = 2/5x - 24/5?

Question

anonymous · Answer

put the equations in ax+by form and take dot product if it =0 then they are perpendicular I htink

anonymous · Answer

I think the constant wouldn't matter since it just shifts the graph up and down and it wouldn't effer if it is perpendicular or not.

anonymous · Answer

5x+2y  dot 5*y-2*x

anonymous · Answer

but you can see they are the same they are 2 parallel lines therefore not perpendicular

oh I missunderstood the q 

I thought they meant are the 2 equations given perpendicular :P
