Question 903034: Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -3x+y=-4 and passes through (4,1)
Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y = 3x - 4, m = 3
perpendicular line to this: m = -1/3
***Using point-slope form, P(4,1)
y - 1 = (-1/3)(x - 4)
y = (-1/3)x +7/3
0r
x + 3y = 7 Standard Form
