4𝑦=5𝑥8=>y=54x24𝑦=5𝑥−8=>y=\dfrac{5}{4}x-2

slope1=m1=54slope_1=m_1=\dfrac{5}{4}

If two lines with slopes m1m_1 and m2m_2 are perpendicular then m1m2=1.m_1m_2=-1.

Then 54m2=1.\dfrac{5}{4}m_2=-1.


slope2=m2=45slope_2=m_2=-\dfrac{4}{5}

The equation of the second line is


y=45x+by=-\dfrac{4}{5}x+b

This line passes through the point (2,3)(2, 3)


3=45(2)+b=>b=y=235x3=-\dfrac{4}{5}(2)+b=>b=y=\dfrac{23}{5}x

The equation of the line which is perpendicular to 4𝑦=5𝑥84𝑦=5𝑥−8 and passing through (2,3)(2,3) is


y=45x+235y=-\dfrac{4}{5}x+\dfrac{23}{5}

Or


5y=4x+235y=-4x+23
