Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes
step 2. perpendicular to m = 1/3 is the slope m = -3/1 or m = -3
step 3. a line through (3, 2) with m = -3 is y - 2 = -3(x - 3)
step 4. y - 2 = -3x + 9
step 5. y = -3x + 11.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Just c cuz i smart
Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
y=mx+b is the slope intercept equation
m=slope
so get into y=mx+b form
-x+2y=4
solve for y
add x both sides
2y=x+4
divide by 2 both sides
y=(1/2)x+2
the slope is 1/2
perppendicular line slope multiplies to -1
1/2 times what=-1
times 2/1 both sides
what=-2/1=-2
y=-2x+b
find b
we are given a point is (-2,1)
when x=-2, y=1
1=-2(-2)+b
1=4+b
minus 3 both sides
-3=b
so the equation is
y=-2x-3
your teacher might want it in standard form (ax+by=c) so
add 2x both sides
2x+y=-3 is an equation
so y=-2x-3 is correct (slope intercept form)
2x+y=-3 is also correct (standard form)
