Answer:

x - 2y = - 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given 2x + y = 3 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

y = - 2x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/(-2) =
(1)/(2) , thus

y =
(1)/(2) x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 4) into the partial equation

4 =
(5)/(2) + c ⇒ c =
(3)/(2)

y =
(1)/(2) x +
(3)/(2) ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2

2y = x + 3 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

0 = x - 2y + 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- 3 = x - 2y , that is

x - 2y = - 3 ← in standard form
