Consider the two lines L1:2x+5y−7=0L_1 : 2x + 5y - 7 = 0 and L2:5x−2y+9=0L_2 : 5x - 2y + 9 = 0. Answer the following questions. (i) Convert L1L_1 to slope-intercept form and write its slope. (ii) Convert L2L_2 to slope-intercept form and write its slope. (iii) Prove that L1L_1 and L2L_2 are perpendicular to each other. (iv) Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of L1L_1 and L2L_2. (v) Obtain the equation, in general form, of the line that passes through the intersection point found in part (iv) and is parallel to L1L_1. Show every step clearly.
