Instructions: Find the equation of the line through point (5, 1) and perpendicular to 5x - y = -3. Use a forward slash (i. e. "/") for fractions
(e. g. 1/2 for).

make y the subject

y= 5x + 3

perpendicular line needs the reciprocal of the gradient

y = 1/5x + c

substitute in the point

1 = 1/5(5) + c

5/5 = 1 so the answer is y = 1/5x

hope this is helpful!

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2
