Answer:
Option 3) y = 3x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Given equation is:</em></u>
y =
Perpendicular => <u><em>It will have a slope of negative reciprocal to this slope</em></u>
So the ⊥ line has a slope = m = 3
Now,
Point = (x,y) = (1,4)
So, x = 1, y = 4
<u><em>Putting this in slope intercept form to get b</em></u>
=>
=> 4 = (3)(1) + b
=> b = 4-3
=> b = 1
<u><em>Now, Putting m and b in the slope intercept form to get the required equation:</em></u>
=> y = 3x+1
