Answer:

  • y = -3x + 14

Explanation:

We need to find the line that

  • passes through the point (3,5) and
  • perpendicular to the line y = 1/3x + 12

Perpendicular lines have negative-reciprocal slopes, so the line will be:

  • y = -3x + b

Use the point (3,5) to find the value of y-intercept:

  • 5 = -3(3) + b
  • b = 5 + 9
  • b = 14

So the line is:

  • y = -3x + 14
