The answer to this problem

5

Step-by-step explanation:

I drew it out on a piece of paper. R is going up and down, through PQ, which is going left to right. If the ratio is 1:3, that means that for every 1 unit there is on one side, there are 3 units in the other. If R is -1 and P is -3, they are two numbers away from each other, which means that on the other side of R (to the right of R), there needs to be 6 numbers in between to make the 1:3 ratio. R is at -1, so then you would write the equation, -1+6=? The answer is 5.

-1+6=5 That is where Q would be

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
