Question 1004902: Find the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line.
(-3,1) and y=-3x+7 Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the line you want is perp. to y = -3x + 7, then the slope you want is 1/3.
Plug the info into y = mx + b and get
1 = (1/3)(-3) + b
1 = -1 + b
b = 2
and the line you want is
y = (1/3)x + 2
