Use the point-slope form of a line: yy1=m(xx1)
where m is the slope and (x1×y1) is a point of the line.
Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals. Rewriting the given line, 5xy=2y=5x2, which has a slope of 5. So, the slope of the perpendicular line is:
m=(15)
Substitute (x1,y1)=(10,2) so that we have: y(2)=(15)(x10)
y+2=(15)x+2
y=(15)x
