The equation of the perpendicular line is y = x + 15.
In this problem we need to determine the equation of the line perpendicular to another line, that intersects at the point (x, y) = (- 5, 10). The explicit form of the equation of the line is defined by the following first order polynomial:
y = m · x + b
Where:
The first line has a slope - 1 and the slope of the second line is:
m' = - 1 / m
m' = 1
Then, the intercept of the second line is:
b = y - m · x
b = 10 - (- 5)
b = 15
The equation of the perpendicular line is y = x + 15.
