Question 476460
1	y  	=	3	x	+	1				
Divide by 	1									
	y  	=	3    	x	+	1				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	3.00									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										-0.33
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be 	-0.33	=-1/3		
										
m=	- 1/3	,point	(-2,0)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
0	=	 2/3	+	b						
b=	- 2/3									
m=	- 1/3									
The required equation is y=(-1/ 3)x-  2/ 3
