Question

Which is the equation of the line that passes through (6, 2) and is perpendicular to a line with slope -1/3

Answer 1

Answer:The equation of the line y=3x-16

Step-by-step explanation: Perpendicular lines have the gradients that have a product of -1.

Since we given the gradient of -1/3 the other gradient will be 3.

y=mx+c

2=3(6)+c

c= -16

Thus, the equation is y=3x-16
