Question

Write the equation of the line that is per to x = -3 and passes through the point (4,-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-1/3x-17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean perpendicular to x=-3.

In that case, we would flip and take the negative. A perpendicular slope would be x=-1/3

Now we plug the point (4,-7) into the equation

y=mx+b

y=-1/3x+b

-7=-1/3*4+b

-7=-4/3+b

b= -17/3

The whole equation would be:

y=-1/3x-17/3

I hope this helps! :)
