Answer:
y=-5/3x+13.
Explanation:
As a line that is perpendicular to anoher line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the line's original slope, we know that the slope of our new line is -5/3. As it passes point (12, -7), we can use the point slope formula which is y-y1=m(x-x1). So plug in, y+7=-5/3(x-12) and that gives us y+7=-5/3x+20 which gives our final answer of y=-5/3x+13.
