  1. The line you're giving us is a horizontal line:

    y= - 12/5

    A perpendicular would be of the form x= a constant (a vertical line).


  2. 2-5y=10?

    2-10 = 5y

    -8 = 5y

    -8/5 = y

    so u should know by now that if there are no xs in the equation , just ys that this is a horixontal line thorugh -8/5

    so any line is perpendicular to this if x= any number, i.e the equation of a line that is vertical.  i.e x = +2

    But if u really meant to type 2x-5y=10

    then -5y = -2x +10

    y = 2x/5 -2

    and the slope of a line perpendicular to this is -5/2

    so y = -5x/2 +b


  3. Simplified, y = -8/5

    a perpendicular line would be x = c

    where c is a constant of any real number.
