To find the slope intercept form of a line perpendicular to a given equation, the first thing you need to do is to find the slope of the perpendicular line. Because lines perpendicular to one another are always have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of them, the slope of the line perpendicular to y=x would be -1 (since the slope of y=x is 1). Then, since the perpendicular line passes through the point (5, -3), you would plug in the values of the x and y into the equation
y=-1x+b to get -3=-1(5)+b.
When you simplify, solve for b to get b=2. Now that you have your slope (m=-1) and your y-intercept (b=2), you can conclude that your perpendicular equation would be y=-x+2.
oops sorry wrong question. sorry if I confused anyone :(

Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding segments are proportional.
(3x +1)/10 = (7x -1)/22
11(3x +1) = 5(7x -1) . . . . . . multiply by 110
33x + 11 = 35x -5 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
16 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 5-33x to both sides
8 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
