Answer:
The original Slope is y=-1/3x-2
The perpendicular slope would be y=3x+b
Step-by-step explanation:
Original Slope:
You already have the y-interecpet, (0,-2), and you know two points (0,-2) and (-6,0), so you can find the slope with (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) so in this case, it would be (0-(-2))/(-6-0)= -1/3 and you can find y=1/3x-2.
Perpendicular Slope:
The slope of any perpendicular line would be the reciprocal of the original. So the reciprocal of -1/3 is 3. The b can be any real number because no matter the y-intercept the slope would still be perpendicular
