Sagot :
The first step is finding the slope of the equation -8x + 10y = 40.
To do so, let's put this equation in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope.
So we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -8x+10y=40 \\ -4x+5y=20 \\ 5y=4x+20 \\ y=\frac{4}{5}x+4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, since the line we want is perpendicular to this given line, their slopes have the following relation:
[tex]m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}[/tex]So, calculating the slope of the line, we have:
[tex]m_2=-\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}=-\frac{5}{4}[/tex]Finally, our equation has the point (-32, -12) as a solution, so we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ y=-\frac{5}{4}x+b \\ -12=-\frac{5}{4}\cdot(-32)+b \\ -12=-5\cdot(-8)+b \\ -12=40+b \\ b=-12-40 \\ b=-52 \end{gathered}[/tex]So our equation is y = (-5/4)x - 52
