Question

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (-1,5) and perpendicular to

the line y = - 3x + 4.

Answer 1

1/3x+16/3

Explanation:

Perpendicular equations slope is the negative reciprocal of the original problem.

So, the slope of the new equations is 1/3

1/3(-1)+b=5

b= 16/3
