Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation. 2x-3x=−5
Subtract 3x from 2x
−x=-5
Multiply each term in -x=−5 by −1
Multiply each term in −x=−5 by −1
(-x) ⋅ -1=(-5) ⋅-1
X=(-5) ⋅-1
multiple -5 by -1
X=5
Since x=5 is a vertical line, the slope is undefined. Undefined
The equation of a perpendicular line to x=5 must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
M perpendicular = -1/∞ The negative reciprocal of ∞ is 0
M perpendicular is 0
Since the slope for the perpendicular line is 0 ,the line is perpendicular to the y-axis. The equation of this line is of the form y=c when c is any real number. The equation of the line at point (-2 ,1)
