Question

What is the equation of the line through (6, 3) and perpendicular to y=-3x+2

Answer 1

y = 1/3 * x + 1

Explanation:

slope: -3

A line perpendicular to another has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line

slope of perpendicular line: 1/3

y = mx + b

3 = 1/3 * 6 + b

b = 1

equation: y = 1/3 * x + 1
