Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y= 5/3x + 2 that passes through the point (-3,4)

Question

You can use slope intercept form or using the given point in point slope form

Answer 1

slope of line perpendicular to line with slope of 5/3 is -3/5 (negative reciprocal).

in point slope form the equation of the line is:

y - 4 = -3/5(x+3)

to find slope intercept form:

y - 4 = -(3/5)x - 9/5

y = -(3/5)x + 11/5
