Answer:

Equation of the line that it is perpendicular to y=7x-3 and passes through the origin is given by 7y + x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have equation of line , y =7x -3, comparing it with y = mx +c

So slope of line , m = 7

We know that the product of slopes of perpendicular lines = -1

So m*Slope of perpendicular line = -1

7* slope of perpendicular line = -1

slope of perpendicular line = -1/7

Given that the perpendicular line passes through origin (0,)0)

We also know that equation of a line passing though origin is given by the expression, y = mx

Here m = -1/7

So equation of perpendicular line, y = -x/7

or 7y + x = 0

Equation of the line that it is perpendicular to y=7x-3 and passes through the origin is given by 7y + x = 0
