Question 1168667: Write an equation of a line that passes through the point Z(6,-2) and is perpendicular to the line y=-1/3+2.

product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1
the slope of the needed line has to be +3, since the given line has slope -1/3
point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1), m slope and (x1, y1) point
y+2=3(x-6)
y=3x-20
