-5x+2y-5=0
2y= 5x + 5
y = (5/2)x + 5/2
slope is 5/2
perpendicular slope is -2/5
line with slope -2/5 and goes through 3,5 is
y = -2/5x + 31/5
now to find intersection of the lines, substitute the equation we found into the first equation
-5x+2y-5=0
-5x+2(-2/5x + 31/5)-5=0
-5x -4/5x + 62/5 - 5 = 0
-29/5x = -37/5
x= 37/29 = 1.276
now substitute the x value back in
y = -2/5x + 31/5
y = -2/5(37/29) + 31/5
and you'll get
y = 165/29 = 5.690
now to find distance of (3,5) and (37/29, 165/29)
( 37 / 29 3 ) 2 + ( 165 / 29 5 ) 2
= 1.857
