Question

agentjamesbond007 · Answer

The slope of a perpendicular line is always -(1/m) where m is the slope

Just flip the fraction and bring the negative sign on!

Sorry added the wrong question. Correct question edited.

Take the slope of the line that passes both points.

2-2/5-2

slope gives zero.

use y-y1=m(x-x1)

choose any coordinate given (we'll use 5,2)

y-2=0(x-5)
y=2

the equation of your line is
y=2

Oh, now I get it. so youre just making an equestion by adding in the numbers with the x and y.
