(1) rearrange the equation in order to find the slope, in the general form of
y = mx+b
5x - 2y = 3
2y=5x-3
y = (5/2)x - 3/2
so the slope of the line (m1) is 5/2
(2) next find the slope of the line that is perpendicular. remember when two lines are perpendicular; m1m2 = -1
(5/2)*m2 = -1
m2 = -1/(5/2) = -2/5
(3) finally use this slope and the point of (3,-4) to find the equation of the line perpendicular.
y = (-2/5)x + b
substitute x=3 & y=-4 to solve for b
-4 = (-2/5)*(3) + b
b = -4 + (6/5)
b = -14/5
So your equation of the line perpendicular to 5x - 2y = 3 is:
y = (-2/5)x - (14/5)
Additional Information:-
So in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
