Answer:

y - 3 = (5/3)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual first step is to determine the slope of the given line.

In this case the slope is -3/5.

A line perpendicular to this given line would have a slope of 5/3, which is the negative reciprocal of -3/5.

This new line goes thru (6, 3) and has a slope of 5/3. Thus, the equation of the line in point-slope form is

y - 3 = (5/3)(x - 6)

Double check that you have copied the problem down correctly. The slope of the line represented by -3x - 5y = 17 is neither 2 nor -2; it is -3/5, and so the slope of a line perpendicular to -3x - 5y = 17 is +5/3.

Answer:
m(x) has the same domain as (m*n)(x)

Explanation:
1- For m(x):
m(x) is a fraction. This means that the denominator cannot be zero, otherwise, the fraction would be undefined.
The denominator of m(x) would be zero at x = 1.
This means that the domain of m(x) can be any real number except 1

2- For n(x):
The value of x in n(x) can be any number. This is because there is no value that would make n(x) undefined.
This means that the domain of n(x) is all real numbers

3- For (m*n)(x):
(m*n)(x) = m(x) * n(x) = $\frac{x-5}{x-1} *(x-3) = \frac{(x-5)(x-3)}{(x-1)}$

We can note that the product is also a fraction. This means that the denominator cannot be zero.
The denominator here will be zero at x = 1.
This means that the domain of (m*n)(x) is all real numbers except 1.
This is the same as the domain of m(x)

Hope this helps :)
