What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2, 5)?

y + 5 = x + 2
y − 2 = x − 5
y − 5 = −(x − 2)
y + 2 = −(x + 5)

ur perpendicular line will have -1 as the slope

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1
(2,5)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 5
now sub
y - 5 = -1(x - 2) can be written like : y - 5 = -(x - 2)
