Question 549167
1	y  	=	-1  1/ 3	x	+	5				
Divide by 	1									
	y  	=	-4/ 3	x	+	5				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b,					m= slope & b= y intercept					
slope m =	-4/3									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										3/4
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be 			 3/4							
										
m=	 3/4	,point	(	5	,	-4	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
-4	=	15/4	+	b						
b=	-31/4									
m=	 3/4									
The required equation isy =  3/ 4x- 31/ 4
