Answer:

y = 3x - 30

Explanation:

First, put both equations into slope-intercept form.

x + 3y - 4 = 0

3y = -x + 4

y = (-1/3)x + (4/3)

2x + 5y - 20 = 0

5y = -2x + 20

y = (-2/5)x + 4

For a line to be perpendicular to y = (-1/3)x + (4/3), its slope should be the opposite and reciprocal of this line's slope.

The slope of y = (-1/3)x + (4/3) is (-1/3). The slope of a perpendicular line is 3.

To find the x-intercept of y = (-2/5)x + 4, plug in 0 for y and find x.

0 = (-2/5)x + 4

x = 10

The equation of the line right now is y = 3x + b

Plug in (10, 0) to find the y-intercept.

0 = 3(10) + b

b = -30

The equation of the line is y = 3x - 30
