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
we have
we know that
The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero
so
in this problem
Find the roots of the function
equate the function to zero
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
Rewrite as perfect squares
Square root both sides
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the x-intercepts are the points and
