Question

A line is perpendicular to y = 3x - 8 and

intersects the point (6, 1).
Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

a line perpendicular to the give formula has a reciprocal slope and it's sign is changed also.

then m = -1/3 for our perpendicular line

y - 1 = -1/3(x -6)

y -1 = -1/3x + 2

y = -1/3x +3

there you go :)
