To find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line represented by (5x + 2y = 6), we first need to determine its slope. Rearranging this equation to slope-intercept form ((y = mx + b)), we find that the slope is (-\frac{5}{2}). The slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal, which is (\frac{2}{5}). Using the point-slope form (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)) with the point (5, 4), the equation becomes (y - 4 = \frac{2}{5}(x - 5)).

Does a perpendicular bisector of a triangle always passes through the opposite vertex?

No, the perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle does not necessarily pass through the opposite vertex. The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint, and it may intersect the interior or exterior of the triangle, depending on its shape. In fact, the only time a perpendicular bisector passes through the opposite vertex is in the case of an isosceles triangle, where the two sides are equal, and their perpendicular bisectors coincide with the altitude.

What paper folding method can be used to form perpendicular line segment?

Fold the paper along the line. Fold the paper again so that the first fold is folded onto itself and such that the second fold goes through a specified point - if any. The second fold will represent a line that is perpendicular to the first and which passes through the specified point.
