Answer:
y = 1/3x +6
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x, -3. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal of that:
-1/(-3) = 1/3
The point-slope equation is then ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . for line of slope m through point (h, k)
Here, we have m = 1/3, (h, k) = (-3, 5), so the point-slope equation is ...
y -5 = 1/3(x +3)
y = 1/3x + 1 + 5 . . . . eliminate parentheses, add 5
y = 1/3x +6 . . . . slope-intercept equation of the line
