Answer:
y = -⁴/₅x + 14
Explanation:
Changing to slope-intercept form:
-10x + 8y = 3 {add 10x to both sides}
8y = 10x + 3 {divide both sides by 8}
y = ⁵/₄x + ³/₈
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is equal -1:
y=m₁x+b₁ ⊥ y=m₂x+b₂ ⇔ m₁×m₂ = -1
y = ⁵/₄x + ³/₈ ⇒ m₁=⁵/₄
⁵/₄×m₂ = -1 ⇒ m₂ = -⁴/₅
The line y=-⁴/₅x+b passes through point (15, 2) so the equation:
2 = -⁴/₅×15 + b must be true
2 = -12 + b
b = 14
Therefore equation in slope-intercept form:
y = -⁴/₅x + 14
