A perpendicular line has an opposite reciprocal slope. This means that the new line will have a slope of -4/3x. Plug in x and y into the equation y=Mx +b where m is the slope (-4/3):
-3=(-3/4)(-3) + b
and isolate b:
b-3=(-3/4)(-3)
b=(-3/4)(-3) +3
b=9/4+3
b=21/4
The final equation is y= -4/3x + 21/4
The y intercept is (21/4).

Answer: Choice A) Add 3.8 to both sides of the equation
Explanation:
If we knew the value of w, then we would replace it and apply PEMDAS.
However, we don't know the value of w, so we undo each step of PEMDAS going backwards.
We start with the "S" of PEMDAS, and undo the subtraction. To undo subtraction, you apply addition. To undo that "minus 3.8" we add 3.8 to both sides.
