Question

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 3x + y = -8 that passes through (-3,1) . Write your answer in slope-intercept form. Show your work.

Answer 1

Just took the test!!

Explanation:

Look at the image down below!!

Answer 2

y = -3x-8 , m=-3
m•m1 = -1
-3•m1 = -1
m1 = 1/3
from y-y1 = m (x-x1)
y-1 = 1/3(x+3)
y-1 = 1/3x +1
y = 1/3x + 2
