Find an equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x – 5y = 3 and passes through (-2, 7).

easy technique for this format of problem

swap the coefficients ... 2y - 5x = ?

change one sign ... 2y + 5x = ?

plug in point ... 2(7) + 5(-2) = 14 - 10 = 4

equation is ... 2y + 5x = 4
