27/3=9 so that’s the simplest form
Find the negative reciprocal of the given line's slope in order to determine what the slope of the line will be.
-2/5 -> -5/2 -> 5/2
Your line now looks like this: y = 5/2x + b
Now, substitute the given point into the y and x variables and solve for b.
y = 5/2x + b
-3 = 5/2(2) + b
-3 = 5 + b
-8 = b
You are now done. The line is y = 5/2x - 8.
