Question 49839: Write the equation of the line which has y-intercept (0,5) and is perpendicular to the line with equation y=-3x+1.

Remember that the equation of a line is y =mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of the given line, y = -3x+1, is -3.
The slope of a line that is perpendicular to this is 1/3.
Since ths y intercept is 5, b=5, so y=mx+b becomes y = 1/3 x + 5.
