The equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -5/2 x + 1 and passing through (10, 3) will be y = 2/5 x + 1.
What is the linear system?
A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.
The equation of the perpendicular line will be given as
y = mx + c
The given equation is y = -5/2 x + 1.
The slope of the line is -5/2.
Then the product of the slope of the perpendicular lines is a negative one.
-5/2 × m = - 1
m = 2/5
Then the equation will be
y = 2/5 x + c
Then the equation is passing through (10, 3). Then we have
3 = 2/5 × 10 + c
3 = 2 + c
c = 1
Then the equation is y = 2/5 x + 1.
