Answer:
y = - x + 2
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 - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
, hence
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line
To find c substitute (3, 1) into the partial equation
1 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 1 = 2
y = - x + 2 ← equation of perpendicular line
