Algebra.Com's Answer #39689 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of the line which has y-intercept (0, 5) and is perpendicular to the line with equation y = –3x + 1. \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The given line has slope = -3 \n" ); document.write( "A line perpendicular to it will have slope = 1/3. \n" ); document.write( "Since the y-intercept must be (0,5) the equation is: \n" ); document.write( "y=(1/3)x+5 \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
