SOLUTION: a line passes through an orgin of a slope of -3 what is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the first line and passes through the point (3,4)

Question 922471: a line passes through an orgin of a slope of -3 what is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the first line and passes through the point (3,4)

***Using point-slope form,
a line passes through an origin, P(0,0)... of a slope of -3 : y = -3x (Green)
.......Line Perpendicular: m = 1/3
***Using point-slope form, P(3,4)
y - 4 = (1/3)(x-3)
y = (1/3)x + 3 (Blue)
