If the slopes of the lines are negative reciprocals, then the lines are perpendicular.
2x - 5y = -3 subtract 2x to both sides
-5y = -2x - 3 divide both sides by -5
y = (2/5)x +3/5
5x + 2y = 6 subtract 5x to both sides
2y = -5x + 6 divide both sides by 2
y = (-5/2)x + 3
Yes, the lines are perpendicular.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 5x- 2?
If you mean: y = 5x-2 then the perpendicular slope is -1/5
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y equals 2 divided by 5x plus 10?
If: y = 2/5x+10 then the perpendicular slope is -5/2x or -2.5x
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 5x 2?
i mean y=5x times 2

What is the equation of the line passing through 3 -4 and it is perpendicular to the line 5x -2y equals 3?
Known equation: 5x -2y = 3 or y = 5/2x -3/2 Slope of equation: 5/2 Slope of perpendicular equation: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y --4 = -2/5(x -3) => 5y = -2x -14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0

Is y equals -5x 9 parallel or perpendicular?
y = -5x + 9 is the equation of a straight line. It cannot be parallel or perpendicular by itself, you need another line to compare it to.
What is the equation that meets y equals 5x plus 7 at right angles?
It is: y = -1/5x+7 that is perpendicular to y = 5x+7
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 5x 2?
i mean y=5x times 2
What is the slope of the perpendicular to the line whose equation is y equals 5x-7?
12
The line given by the equation y equals 5x minus 2 is perpendicular to what equation?
It is: y = -1/5x-2
Help with math x plus 2y6?
x + 2y6 cannot be simplified, nor evaluated, nor solved.
Is 5x 2y9 and 5x 2y2 parallel perpendicular or neither?
If they have the same slope, they are parallel. The slopes are the same, so yes they are parallel.
What is perpendicular to y equals 5x-2?
