Email me at justin.sheppard.tech@hotmail.com with the problem and I will reply with the work in a .pdf file. We can also set up a time to work on problems together online using a whiteboard that will allow you to work through the problem by yourself. All of this is free (volunteer).
Since the slope of this line is -3. You need to find the slope of a perpendicular line. If you have a slope of then the slope of a line perpendicular to this is . You simply change the sign and flip the number to get the slope of a perpendicular line.
