Answer:
the fourth option : 5x - 3y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope of the original line is given by the coordinate differences between the 2 points on the line.
remember, the slope is the factor of x in the line equation and is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y is changing, when x changes a certain number of units.
so, to go from (-3. 2) to (2, -1) x changes 5 units and y -3 units.
therefore, the slope is -3/5.
the slope of a perpendicular line simply switched x and y. and the sign of the slope.
therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 5/3.
and the line equation is
y = (5/3)x + c
to get c we need the point on the line (3, 0).
0 = (5/3)×3 + c = 5 + c
c = -5
y = (5/3)x - 5
3y = 5x - 15
3y - 5x = -15 or (after multiplying both sides by -1)
5x - 3y = 15
