Question 546864
	y  	=	  1/ 3	x	+	-3				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b,					m= slope & b= y intercept					
slope m =	 1/3									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal										-3
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be 			-3    							
										
m=	-3    	,point	(	-4	,	3	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
3	=	12.00	+	b						
b=	-9									
m=	-3    									
The required equation is y  =-3x-9
