Question 1078106: Write and equation of a line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to (1,-1), y = 3x+2

Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope of the desired line is -1/3, the negative reciprocal of 3
y-y1=m(x-x1), m slope, and (x1,y1) the coordinates
y+1=(-1/3)(x-1)
y=-(1/3)x-2/3
