Question 772947: Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line but passing through the given point.
y=-1/3x-4; (-6,3) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line but passing through the given point.
y=-1/3x-4; (-6,3)
-----
The given equation has slope = -1/3
------
The perpendicular line must have slope = 3
-------
Form: y = mx + b
3 = 3*-6 +b
b = 3+18 = 21
-----
Equation:
y = 3x + 21
