You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is the equation of the line perpendicular to y = -5/3x + 11 1/3 and containing P (-2, 3)
y = -5/3x + 11 1/3
slope=-5/3
slope of perpendicular line=3/5 (negative reciprocal)
equation of perpendicular line:
y=3x/5+b solve for b using coordinates of given point P on the line
3=3*(-2)/5+b
15/5 +6/5=b
b=21/5
equation: y=3x/5+21/5
