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.

Write the standard form of the equation of each line. How do I find the slope and y-intercept with the graph for problem 6???
lisov135 [29]
The standard form for an equation is y=mx+b. You find the slope by using the formula of rise over run. This means that for problem 6 you first look to see if its positive or negative slope. The slope is positive if the line is going uphill and if its going downhill its negative. The slope would be negative for number 6 because it is going downhill. Then for the actualy slope you would start with rise. So you look at the point (0,1) and go up 3 until you hit the line of the other point and run over 2. So your slope would be -3/2.
