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.
---------------
The given line has slope=-3.
The perpendicular line will have slope 1/3
You are told the y-intercept is 5.
EQUATION:
y=(1/3)x+5
