Please help! I'm uncertain as to how I would do this.

Which is the equation for the line perpendicular to y = -5/3 x + 11 1/3 and containing P(-2, 3)?

o y - 2 = -3/5 (x - 3)
o y = -5/3 x + 4 1/3
o y = -3/5 x + 4 1/5
o y = 3/5 x + 4 1/5

shubhamsrg · Answer

for perpendicular lines, 
product of slopes  = -1 //

you'll have to use this simple thing in both the ques..

you are right in the first ques ans ..
you should be able to do the second one also..
