Answer:
y = 1/2x – 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one convert to y = mx+b form
6x + 3y =15
Isolate Y
3y = -6x + 15
Divde the 3 among the other numbers
y = -2x + 5
That is the equation
perpindiculr to that is y = 1/2x + 5 but solve for the points and plug in
the points are (12,-5)
So -5 = 1/2 (12) +b
-5 = 6 + b
Solve for B
-5 – 6 = b
b = -11
FINAL EQUATION
y = 1/2x – 11
