We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.

Here we have the following rational function:
So the graph of this function is shown in the First Figure below. Let's define another function which is a parent function:
Whose graph is shown in the second figure below. So we can get the graph of f from the graph of g this way:
Step 1. Shift the graph 3 units to the left:
Step 2. Shift the graph 2 units down:
Finally, the features of the graph of f are:
The graph of this function comes from the parent function g and the transformations are:
- A shifting 3 units to the left
I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is -3/5 + 4/5. C.
Answer:
y = -5/3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets turn the equation from standard form to slope intercept form.
3x - 5y = 1
~Subtract 3x to both sides
-5y = 1 - 3x
~Divide -5 to everything
y = -1/5 + 3/5x
~Reorder
y = 3/5x - 1/5
Now that we have the equation in slope intercept form, we can find the new equation. A perpendicular line will have the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.
3/5x -> -5/3x
Now that we have the slope, we can use the given point to find the y-intercept.
y = -5/3x + b
8 = -5/3(-3) + b
8 = 5 + b
3 = b
Put all the information we solved for into a final equation.
y = -5/3x + 3
Best of Luck!
