<PRE><B>Question 772947</B>
Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line but passing through the given point. 

y=-1/3x-4; (-6,3)
-----
The given equation has slope = -1/3
------
The perpendicular line must have slope = 3
-------
Form: y = mx + b
3 = 3*-6 +b
b = 3+18 = 21
-----
Equation:
y = 3x + 21
