Question

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=-3x+5 and passes through the point (2,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope 1/3 (slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals)

Point (2,6)

y-intercept = 6 - (1/3)(2)

= 6 - 2/3 (6*3=18-2=16)

= 16/3
