Answer:

The answer to your question is 3x - y = 3P - Q

Explanation:

Process

1.- Get the points from the graph of the original line

A (0, 5)

B (-3, 6)

2.- Find the slope of the original line


m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Substitution


m = (6 - 5)/(-3 - 0) = (-1)/(3)

3.- Find the slope of the new line

As the lines are perpendicular the new slope will be

m = 3

4.- Find the equation of the new line

Point (P, Q)

Equation y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution

y - Q = 3(x - P)

Simplify

y - Q = 3x - 3P

Result

3x - y = 3P - Q
