Question 274562: Which of the following represents a line that is Perpendicular to the following: y= 3x + 6

y = 3x + 6
This line equation is in slope-intercept form so the slope of this line is 3. A line perpendicular to this line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 3 which is -1/3.
The equation of the perpendicular line must look like y = (-1/3) + b where b is the value of y when x is zero.
