Answer:

y=3x-13

Explanation:

because it is perpendicular to y=-1/3x+5 the gradient is 3.

so, so far for the line you are working out you have y=3x+c

now substitute the points(1,-10) into this equation

so... -10=3 times 1 +c

which gives

-10=3+c

now solve to get c

so...-10-3=c

-13=c

so the equation of the line is ...y=3x-13
