Question

Ill give you brainliest>>>Write an equation of the line passing through the point (5, 2) that is perpendicular to the line −x+3y=12.
The equation of the line is y= x+

Answer 1

y= mx+b

(16, -7) = (x,y)

2(16) - 3y = 12

32 - 3y = 12

32 - 12 = 3y

20/3 = y

6.6 = y

2x-3(-7) = 12

2x+21 = 12

2x = 12 - 21

x = -9/2

Insert the values into y = mx + b

solve for m and then solve for b
