Answer:
y = -[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]x - -[tex]\frac{23}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's divide both sides by 5 to get the first equation into the form y = mx + b. We get y = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]x + 5. The m value, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex], is the slope and the b value, 5, is the y-intercept of this line.
When a line is perpendicular to another line, the slopes must multiply to get -1. In other words, the slopes must be a negative reciprocal of each other. Since the slope of the original line is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex], we know that the slope of the line perpendicular to that is -[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex].
Then, since we know x, y, and m of the second equation, we can substitute those three values into the equation, y = mx + b, to find the y-intercept (b).
-1 = (-[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex])(-4) + b
-1 = [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex] + b
b = -[tex]\frac{23}{3}[/tex]
After plugging in the values of m and b we calculated, we get the equation for the line perpendicular to the original line: y = -[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]x -[tex]\frac{23}{3}[/tex].
