<PRE><B>Question 433317</B>
Give the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = -3x + 7 and passes through
point (0, -6).
------------------
The listed equation has slope = -3,
so the perpendicular line must have
slope 1/3
-----
Form: y = mx+b
-6 = (1/3)*0+b
b = -6
-----
Equation:
y = (1/3)x-6
------------
Cheers,
Stan H.
==============
Sorry the slections are as follows:
A) y=1/3x+6
B)y=-1/3x-6
C)y=-3x-6
D)y=1/3x-6
