You can put this solution on YOUR website! write in slope-intercept form the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line (-2,1),y=3x+3/4
...
y=3x+3/4
compare equation with y= mx +b
slope m =3
..
The perpendicular line will have a slope of (-1/3)
m=(-1/3)(-2,1)
find b in y= mx+b
1=-2(-1/3)+b
1=+1/3+b
b=1-1/3
b=-2/3
..
Equation = y = -x/3-2/3
