The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2, -7) is 2x - 5y = 39. We found the slope of the perpendicular line using the negative reciprocal of the original slope, then used the point-slope form to derive the equation and converted it to standard form. The final equation in standard form is 2x - 5y = 39.
