Answer:
[tex]y = \frac{5}{4} x + 25[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We were told that the equation of the line we are looking for is perpendicular to
[tex]y = - \frac{4}{5} x + 5[/tex]
We know that the gradient of perpendicular lines when multiplied is equal to -1, therefore
[tex] line \: .1 \times \: line \: .2 = - 1 \\ \\ \frac{4}{5} \times line \: .2 = - 1 \\ \\ line \: .2 = \frac{ - 1}{ \frac{4}{5} } [/tex]
[tex]line\: .2 = \frac{5}{4} \: \: \: \: y = 15 \: \: \: \: x = - 8 \\ \\ y = mx + c \\ \\15 = ( \frac{5}{4} ) - 8 + c \\ \\ 15 = - 10 + c \\ 15 + 10 = c[/tex]
[tex]25 = c \\ \\ therefore \: the \: equation \: of \: the \: line \: is \: \\ \\ y = \frac{5}{4} x + 25[/tex]
