Answer:
y = x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
y = - 3x + 13 is in this form
with m = - 3
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
=
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (6, 10) into the partial equation
10 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 10 - 2 = 8
y = x + 8 ← equation of line
