To verify whether the diagonals are perpendicular to each other, we find the slope of each segment and we can see that the slopes should be opposite reciprocals of each other.This means, these segments are really perpendicular. This theorem can be verified through congruent angles present in the quadrilateral.
-1 is the opposite reciprical (perpendicular)
To write it in function notation you'll convert it into a function, substituting y by f(x):
y = 3x - 8 = f(x) = 3x - 8

Answer:
The equation, y=3x-5 is in y=mx+b format. The b, or -5 in this case, tells you what the y intercept is, or in this case, your starting point. This means your first point will be at (0,-5). The mx, or 3x in this case, tell us how much to move up and how much to move sideways. 3x is equal to 3/1x and the 3/1 tells us the rise/run. Rise being how much to go up or down and run being how much to go to the left or right. So in 3x, the rise is 3 and the run is 1. So you will go 3 up on the y axis and 1 to the right on the x-axis. So your next point will be (1, -2) and the point after that will be (2, 1) and so on!
