Facility Floor Grid: Sensor Track Alignment

In a logistics center, a main automated guidance rail is installed on the floor grid along the line x=5x = 5. A technician needs to install a perpendicular sensor track that passes through a control panel located at the coordinates (3,2)(3, -2). Describe the geometric orientation of both the guidance rail and the new sensor track. Explain the step-by-step process used to determine the equation of the sensor track and identify why the standard 'negative reciprocal' slope rule cannot be used for the guidance rail.
