Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x=5x-3
subtract 5x from both sides
-3x=-3
x=1
The slope of the given line is -1/3. The perpendicular line's slope is the opposite reciprocal of the given line's slope. So, the perpendicular line's slope is 3. Then we have slope intercept form y=mx+b
y=3x+b
We don't know "b" which is the y-intercept for this equation, but we have the coordinates (6, -1). We can use these to find the slope by plugging them into the equation.
-1=3(6)+b
-1=18+b
-1-18=18+b-18
-19=b
So, the resulting y-intercept is -19.
The final perpendicular equation would be y=3x-19
