Answer:
y -6 = 1/3(x +3) or y = 1/3x +7
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line describing the given path is the x-coefficient, -3. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that:
m = -1/(-3) = 1/3
The point-slope form of the equation for a line can be used to write the equation for the new path:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
For m=1/3 and (h, k) = (-3, 6), the new path can be represented by ...
y -6 = 1/3(x +3) . . . . point-slope form
y = (1/3)x +7 . . . . . . slope-intercept form
