Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -3. Since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, the slope of the line we need to find is 1/3.

Substituting into point slope form, we get:

y + 6 = (x+6)

what is an equation of the line perpendicular to y+1=-3(x-5) and passes through (4,-6)? please-example-1
