Question 684930: write a slope intercept equation of the line containing the points (4,1) and perpendicular to the line x-3y=9
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Starting with x - 3y = 9
find the slope
3y = x - 9
y =
slope is
...
A perpendicular line will have a negative inverse/reciprocal slope of
...
Use the slope and the point (4, 1) in the point-slope formula
y - 1 = -3(x-4)
y - 1 = -3x + 12
