Answer:
y = - x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange 3x - y = 9 into this form by subtracting 3x from both sides
- y = - 3x + 9 ( divide all terms by - 1 )
y = 3x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
, thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (6, 6) into the partial equation
6 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 2 = 8
y = - x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular line
The dashed line is because the sign is greater than to be a solid line it has to be equal to or greater than and to the shading means any point on there works for the equation easiest way to test where you should shade is by plugging into the equation the point (0,0)
