What is the equation of the line perpendicular to y=5x-3 that passes through the point (3, 5)?

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/5 because that's the reciprocal of 5.

Look at the image below ↓

By looking at the image we can conclude that the equation for the perpendicular line is,

.

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: Finding the new slope of the line

Perpendicular lines have reciprocal slopes of a given line - this means that the slope you are given in the first equation will be flipped and negated.

Because the slope is 5 in the first line, it gets flipped to become .

Part 2: Using point-slope formula and solving in slope-intercept form

Input the new slope into the slope-intercept equation: . This results in .

Then, use the point-slope equation to get b, or the y-intercept of the equation.
