Question

Write the equation of a line that is PERPENDICULAR to the line y=3x-4 and passes through the point (-6,1)​

Answer 1

Answer: y = -1/3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Slope of perpendicular line is opposite reciprocal --> -1/3
• Using point given (-6, 1), find b.
• 1 = -6(-1/3) + b
• 1 = 2 + b
• -1 = b
