Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-1/3x+9

This is written in the format y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

Perpendicular lines have a slope that is the negative inverse of the slope of the reference line, in this case -(1/3).  The new slope is 3.  equation is:

y = 3x + b

To find b, enter the given point, (-6,-2) and solve for b:

y = 3x + b

-2 = 3(-6) + b

-2 = -18 + b

b = 16

The full equation is y=3x + 18

musickatia [10]

y =  \frac{6}{4} x  + 4



Explanation:
1. you subtract 6x to get 4y alone. which will get you -4y=-6x-16
2. then you divide everything by -4 to get y completely alone.
This will get you the answer of y=6/4y+4
