Plans for an arena map for a popular video game are drawn on a coordinate grid. A new corridor of the arena lies on the line y = 5/2 x. A perpendicular corridor passes through the point (10, 0). Write the equation of the line that contains the new corridor.
y = five over two x – 25
y = –two over five x + 4
--y = two over five x – 4
y = –five over two x + 25
