You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of the line through (0,2) and perpendicular to y= 3x-1.
-------
That line has a slope of "3".
---
Any line perpendicular to it must have a slope of -1/3
-------------
The equation you want must have a slope of -1/3 and y-intercept of 2.
---
Equation:
y = (-1/3)x + 2
