Answer:

y +2x = 13

Explanation:

y = -2x + 13 is y-intercept form.

add 2x to both sides

Answer:
y=(x)/(2)+(1)/(2)

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The line is perpendicular to a line with slope -2.

It means the slope of our line will be :


m* (-2)=-1

Hence,
m=(1)/(2)

The point from which our line is passing, is (5,3)

So the equation of line passing through a point and given slope is given by :


y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1))


y-3=(1)/(2)(x-5)


y=(x)/(2)-(5)/(2)+3


y=(x)/(2)+(1)/(2)

Hence the equation is :
y=(x)/(2)+(1)/(2) : Answer

Hope it will help :)
