Find an equation for the line that has a x-intercept of 3 and is perpendicular to the graph of -2x+5y=6

or

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

isolate the variable y

so

The slope is

step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

so

we have

so

----> slope of the perpendicular line

step 3

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

we have

----> x-intercept

substitute

apply distributive property eight sides

or

-2 is the right

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
