Answer:

<em>y = 3x - 17</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the point-slope form of the equation of a line.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

If you are given a slope, m, and a point on the line, (x1, y1), you just plug in the values into the equation above, and you get the equation of the line.

In your problem, you are given a point on the line, (5, -2). Now you need the slope of the line. Your line is perpendicular to the given line. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. If you know the slope of a line, the slope of its perpendicular is found by flipping the fraction and changing the sign.

The given line has slope -1/3.

Flip -1/3 to get -3.

Now change the sign to get 3.

The slope of the line you need is 3. The line passes through point (5, -2).

Now we use the point-slope equation and we plug in the values we have.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y - (-2) = 3(x - 5)

y + 2 = 3x - 15

y = 3x - 17

An inverse statement is negating both statements meaning if not p, then not q.
So transforming this to an inverse statement would be:
