Find the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line.
(6,-1) and 3y+x=3
---------
Find the slope of the given line::
y = (-1/3)x + 1
slope = -1/3)
--------------
Find the slope of the perpendicular line:
slope = 3
-----------------
Equation Form::
y = mx + b
Solve for "b" using the point and the slope values::
-1 = 3(6) + b
b = -19
------------
Equation:
y = 3x - 19
--------------
