Answer:
7x + 3y = 44
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange - 3x + 7y = 5 into this form by adding 3x to both sides
7y = 3x + 5 ( divide all terms by 7 )
y = x +
← in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= -
, thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (5, 3) into the partial equation
3 = - + c ⇒ c = 3 +
=
y = - x +
← in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 3
3y = - 7x + 44 ( add 7x to both sides )
7x + 3y = 44 ← in standard form
