Write the slope intercept equation of the function f whose graph satisfies the given conditions.
The graph of f is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x-9y-27=0 and has the same y-intercept at this line
:
Put the equation in the slope intercept form
2x - 9y - 27 = 0
-9y = -2x + 27
y + 2%2F9x - 3
find the slope (m2)of the perpendicular line
2%2F9*m2 = -1
m2 = -9%2F2
:
Find the equation with a y intercept of -3
y = -9%2F2x - 3
