Find the equation of the line that contains the given point and is perpendicular to the given line. Write the equation in slope-intercept form if possible.  

**Question 58**

Given the point \((-2, -5)\) and the linear equation \(y = -2x + 5\).

**Explanation:**

The problem presents a point with coordinates \( (-2, -5) \) and a linear equation \( y = -2x + 5 \). The task is likely to involve verifying if the point lies on the line represented by the equation, finding intersection points, or analyzing the relationship between the point and the equation.

**Instructions:**

1. **Substitution Method:** To determine if the point lies on the line, substitute the x-coordinate (\(-2\)) into the equation and check if the resulting y-value equals the y-coordinate given (\(-5\)).

2. **Graphical Interpretation:** Visualize the line based on the equation. The slope is \(-2\), and the y-intercept is \(5\). Plot the line on a graph and check the positional relation of the point \((-2, -5)\).

3. **Analysis Questions:**
   - Does the point satisfy the equation?
   - If not, determine how far the point is from the line.
   - Discuss the implications if the point does lie on the line, in terms of solutions to systems or real-world applications.
