Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4} x+ \frac{7}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of straight line PR where P(2,3) and R(5,-1) are two vertices of triangle PQR will be = \frac{3-(-1)}{2-5} =-\frac{4}{3}

Therefore, the slope of the altitude passing through Q(-1,1) will be \frac{3}{4} {Since, the product of slopes of two perpendicular straight line is -1}

So, equation of the altitude is y=\frac{3}{4} x + c where c is a constant.

Now, putting x = -1 and y = 1 in the above equation we get  

1 = -\frac{3}{4} + c

⇒ c=\frac{7}{4}

Therefore, the equation of the altitude is y = \frac{3}{4} x+ \frac{7}{4} (Answer)
