Answer:
y = 3x - 13
Step-by-step explanation:
slope of line segment is -1/3 so a segment perpendicular to this would need a slope of 3
the midpoint for the segment is (2, -7); midpoint formula is [([tex]x_{1}[/tex]+[tex]x_{2}[/tex]/2), ([tex]y_{1}[/tex]+[tex]y_{2}[/tex]/2)]
using slope of 3 and point (2, -7) we can plug into y = mx + b
-7 = 3(2) + b
-7 = 6 + b
b = -13
