<PRE><B>Question 260168</B>
Find the equation of the line containing the point (4,1) and perpendicular to the line y=-3x+4.
----------
The slope of the line is -3
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, +1/3
------------
Use y = mx+b and the point to find b:
1 = (1/3)*4 + b
b = -1/3
y = (1/3)x - 1/3
