Question 892623: Write an equation of the line perpendicular to the given line and with the given y-intercept.
y=-3x+2
b=4

The slope of y=-3x+2 is -3 = -3/1
Flip the fraction: -3/1 ---> -1/3
Flip the sign: -1/3 ---> +1/3 = 1/3
So the slope of this perpendicular line is 1/3
m = 1/3
b = 4
Plug those values in to get
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 4
