A and B have coordinates (2,3) and (5,15), respectively. Together they form line l. Find the equation for the line r that goes through C(7,-2) and is perpendicular to l. Give the answer in the format of y=mx+b

To get the equation that describes l, we'll need to get the slope first: (15-3)/(5-2)=12/3=4r is perpendicular to l so it's slope is given by: -1/4To get b we calculate: -2=7*(-0.25) + b <=> b = -1/4r: y = -x/4 + -1/4
