Answer:


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

Explanation:

1: find the perpendicular gradient - this is the negative reciprocal of the original gradient:


y=(-3)/(4)x+ 2 \\y=(4)/(3) x+c

2: Substitute in the coordinate to find the value of c:


y=(4)/(3)x +c\\5 = (4)/(3) (3) + c\\5 = 4+c\\c=1

3: Put it all together:


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