Question 117884: Write the line equation of the line which has y-intercept (0,5) and is perpendicular to the line with equation y=-3x+1(y = mx + b).
m1 is the negative reciprocal of m=-3, which is 1/3.
You were given (0,b)=(0,5)
Plug the values for m1 and b into the equation of a line: y = mx + b
y=1/3x+ 5
So, this is the line. Answer by misscrt(37) (Show Source):
