How can you find the slope-intercept form of the line perpendicular to y=-3x, passing through the point (o,-3)?

write the given equation in slope intercept form

y=mx+b
y=-3x+0

take "-3"'s negative reciprecal to find the perpeendecular line's slope.

write the equation we want to have in slope intercept form and substitute with the given domain and range values and slope we have just found.

y=mx+b

b=-3

again write the equation in slope intercept form; but this time substitute the y-intercept and slope we have just found.

y=mx+b
