Answer:
y = -3x + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
first, change the equation into slope-intercept form
add 'x' to each side to get:
3y + x = 12
divide each side by 3 to get:
y = 1/3x + 4
now we need to use a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of 1/3 which would be -3, in conjunction with the point (5,2), by entering these values into the slope-intercept form so we can find the y-intercept ('b') of the new line:
2 = -3(5) + b
2 = -15 + b
17 = b
put slope and y-intercept together to get:
y = -3x + 17
