What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and psses through the point (5,3)?

 y= -1/a*x+5/a+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of given line isn't known. Let it be y=ax+b (1)

So the equation of required line is y=-1/a*x+c                     (2)

Lets put 5 instead x and 3 instead y in (2) and find c

-1/a*5+c=3

c=3+5/a

The required equation is y= -1/a*x+5/a+3

i dont know

step-by-step explanation:

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
