Answer:

  A)  3y = x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a perpendicular line can be found by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. The constant will be chosen to match the given point.

Swapping coefficients, we get ...

  -3y = x + c

Negating the y-coefficient gives ...

  3y = x + c

Filling in the given point, we have ...

  3(5) = -1 + c

  16 = c

The equation of the perpendicular line can be written as ...

  3y = x + 16 . . . . matches choice A

_____

Note that choice A is the only equation that gives a line with positive slope. The given equation has negative slope, so its perpendicular must have positive slope.

How would I solve for 35?
svet-max [94.6K]
First you simplify both sides

Multiply -1 by x and 7
-x-7-16=x-3
Subtract -16 from -7
-x+9=x-3
Add 3. To both sides
-x+12=x
Add x to both sides
12=2x
Divide both sides by 2
6=x
