Question 51383: Please help me answer the following probelm. Write the equation of the line which has y- intercept (0,5) and is perpendicular to the line with the equation y = -3x+ 1. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
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 the equation y = -3x+ 1.
The slope of the given line is -3
So the slope of the line we want is 1/3
The y-intercept is 5
So the equation is y=(1/3)x+5
