Question

What is the equation in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -1/3. For lines to be perpendicular there product must equal negative 1

m1(m2)=-1

-m/3=-1

m=3

So we know our line has a slope of three so

y=3x+b, we can solve for the y intercept, b, using point (-2,8)

8=3(-2)+b

8=-6+b

b=14, so our line is

y=3x+14
